Terms of Sale
Availability
Each item for sale has a status code. One marked as Available
indicates there is a reasably good chance that the item can be
purchased. Availability is determined on a first-come first-served
basis. The mechanism for reserving an item is through the web-based
mail ordering system on this site, or by telephone. There is always a
chance that the item you wish to purchase has already been requested
by someone, but our database does not reflect that fact. It is not
an automatic process, but one that requires human intervention, and
delays in updating the status codes. In addition, we reserve the
right to sell any and all items listed on this site at a show or
auction. After such a sale, those items will be removed from the site.
