Yes! If you are interested in more than one item, let me know when you are done shopping, send me your zip code, how you plan on paying, and I will send you an invoice.

Yes, if you let me know first. Please read my terms for more details.

No, I try to estimate shipping for the safest packaging and will adjust or refund postage that is over the actual cost. When listing I can only list one option so let me know if you wish another. For example media mail is the less expensive for books but takes a long time so people often want to use priority.

I wrap the item, for example a postcard, in a clean piece of paper and put between cardboard and mark the envelope, "Do Not Bend". Any item marked that way has to go 1st class parcel.

There may be some difference. My scanner tends to make colors lighter and for some reason does not like tan. I've tried everything to adjust it without any luck. Also, when I use my camera, the eglass in my windows alters the colors somewhat.

If an item is not dated, I relay on my past 35 years of experience. Of course, I am not perfect and if I misrepresent an item you may refund it for a full refund including postage (see my terms). I generally try to cover any faults and try to be picky in case a person wants only mint items. Most people tell me that the items are better than described. I try to rate vintage or antique items like this: New or Like New Excellent- May show age, but except for those that want mint, most everyone would be glad to have in their collection Very Good to Good- Will have a fault but probably most of you would like Poor- listed because someone might need it, because it is scarce, until they can upgrade If at any time you need more information about condition- feel free to ask me. Everyone has different requirements.

If you are buying more than one item, please email be when you are done shopping and I will send you an invoice through Google with the combined postage. If you don't want to use Google, you can send payment the way you wish. I accept money orders, checks, Google Checkout and Paypal. Please let me know if you are sending a money order or check. My email for Google checkout- gdesigns@commspeed.net & Paypal is: garts@commspeed.net. Canada and overseas payments need to be in US funds.

I ship as soon as I can but live a long way out of town so can't go in everyday. If you need an item ASAP, let me know and I'll be glad to make a special trip. If I am away, there will be a notice on my home page.

ECrater is set up differently than some sites. Each store is like an independent web site. Most people log into ECrater, do a search and find an item that they like. To look at the store, click on the http link that is under the heading STORE on the item page (right top). Bookmark the store for future reference. You can't go back to the main ECrater site from the store, to do further searching, so open another window for ECrater.
