Up for auction is a beautiful and well done replica of the first Bel Air, the 1950 Chevrolet. One of Franklin Mints finer offerings this miniature Bel Air boasts features not found on most other 1/24th scale model . Details such as a functioning suspension, a fully wired and plumbed engine bay and metal badges front and rear...real badges, not painted. A close inspection of just about any diecast car will uncover little flaws or condition issues, many sellers will not disclose minor problems with their diecasts. I carefully inspect each car I sell and I do include a description of any discovered flaws or damage in my listings. My inspection of this diecast revealed a couple of issues you should be aware of prior to bidding. Those issues are: As there is a crack in the mirror/spotlight stem I suspect that it was broken off and reattached at some point. There is also a crack in the base of the radio antenna. The diecast comes with all of the original packaging. The inner graphic box is in relatively good condition with very little damage or wear, however the outer white box is in poor shape with stains, writing, and labels attached. It was used as a shipping box at some time. Also included is the paperwork; the Certificate of Authenticity/Collector's Guide/Care & Handling booklet with the correct serial number, the nameplate, the gloves and the stylus. The checkered display plate is not part of this sale. It comes from a non-smoking household and will ship withinone business day of payment. PayPal only, please. Shipping will be via USPS Parcel Post (delivery within 2 to 8 business days) in order to keep the cost down however you will have the option of selecting Priority Mail when checking out. As always, I do not charge for the cost of shipping supplies or handling, you will only pay what the Post Office charges. Please note...recently I have experienced a large number of bidders not paying for items they have won, so I must request that payment be made, via PayPal, within 8 days of the auction ending . Unless I receive payment or have been given a valid reason for a late payment an Unpaid Item Case will automatically be opened. If payment has not been received by the end of an additional 4 days the sale will be cancelled and this item will be relisted. To my California customers, my eBay business has become large enough to where I now must report and collect California Sales Tax. I hate having to do this, I've held off as long as I can, but there it is. Thanks so much for looking over my listing and I wish you the best of luck bidding on whatever you may find on eBay! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I do my best to fully disclose the condition of any items I sell. When you receive your purchase if it’s not as I described it then return it and I will refund every penny, including the costs of the return shipment. I accept returns if an item is damaged during shipment. You should expect to get the item you’ve paid for in the same condition as it was advertised, and not in pieces. If it arrives broken then I should have packaged it more securely. I will give a complete refund including the cost of the return shipment immediately upon having been provided with a tracking number. I no longer give partial refunds for shipping damage as I have had several customers request partial credit claiming shipping damage who have then provided me with photos of another car...not the one I sold. So I do ask that the car be returned to me. Should you change your mind after receiving an item that you’ve bought I’ve no problem with you returning it. I want everyone who purchases from me to be a happy camper. However, in this one case, I do require that you pay the return costs. I will combine shipping. If you should win more than one item that I’m selling, please wait for an invoice prior to payment. I sell and I ship to domestic, US based customers only, and there's a reason for that.
