***THIS ITEM SHIPS TO ALL COUNTRIES SERVED BY THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM*****ALL SHIPMENTS TO A CALIFORNIA ADDRESS ARE SUBJECT TO 8% CA SALES TAX**Greetings & best wishes from Mr.Allied and welcome to my auction! Pleas e have confidence in my 100% honest descriptions and please read the following carefully:This is an All Original, "Tootsietoy" No. 125 Lockheed Electra Airplane , with the ORIGINAL BOMB LOAD , Produced by the Master Craftsmen at Doust Manufacturing Company,of Chicago, Illinois, Circa 1937 or so. The wingspan measures approx. 4", while the fuselage measures approx. 2.75". This plane is all metal with white, rubber tires. I believe the Electra with the bomb load was only available as part of a boxed set, but I'm not sure. This is only the second one of these I have ever seen, with the bombs intact. The bomb load just sort of "clips" onto the fuselage and is easily lost. I don't believe all that many were ever made, but just imagine a kid playing with this and after "dropping" the bombs in the grass or the carpet, never being able to find them again! This is a tough piece to find and this one is in GORGEOUS, original condition. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. What you see is what you get. I am selling this Great Old Tootsietoy "as-is, as-found." Please look the photos over VERY carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you place a bid.Buyer pays flat rate shipping via USPS.All shipments to a California address are subject to 8% sales tax.IMPORTANT, THIS IS HOW I SELL ON EBAY, PLEASE READ: 1. I try to keep shipping costs down, as best I can, while still packing in a manner that I feel will deliver your purchase to you undamaged. Your purchase will be PACKED WITH CARE , by someone who has been packing and shipping delicate items for over 45 years. And, your shipment will be FULLY INSURED, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! 2. I've been around for a while--a LONG while--and I have dived into my last dumpster looking for shipping cartons! So, I purchase brand new, 200# test, shipping cartons and I use anti-static, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, loose fill packing material--MOST OF THE TIME. I say "most of the time," because I will, on some occasions, ship in previously used cartons and I may reuse other types of packing materials, which best suit the item(s) being shipped. I sometimes use Priority Mail shipping cartons as well. At any rate, I do SLIGHTLY "PAD" the shipping charges on each shipment, to cover my purchase of cartons, loose fill, tissue paper, packing paper, printing paper, bubble wrap, packing tape, rubber bands, plastic bags, shipping labels,"FRAGILE" labels, printing cartridges, etc. From what I see others doing, I feel the way I do this, it is really reasonable to ensure that your purchase arrives safe and sound. I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING or SHIPPING SUPPLIES! 3. I use the "Shipping Calculator" to determine the fairest and most accurate shipping cost. Shipping charges to AK or HI may be higher, please ask. I try to offer buyers at least two shipping choices--MOST OF THE TIME, usually USPS Priority Mail and USPS Parcel Select. I try to stay with USPS, but if an item sells for a very high price, I reserve the right to ship via UPS or FedEx instead, just for insurance purposes. On most of what I feel are the more expensive items I offer, I will INSIST on Priority Mail, ONLY. Lastly, I may make the decision to upgrade your shipping service. For example, you may have selected and paid for "Parcel Select" shipping, but I may decide to ship it via "Priority" instead. If I do this, you will NOT be charged any additional fee. I will never downgrade the shipping method you have chosen. ALL shipments valued over $100.00-and some under-will be sent with "Signature Confirmation Required," NO EXCEPTIONS! I'm sorry if this poses an inconvenience for you, but there are way too many parcels "disappearing" from doorsteps these days, so better safe than sorry. 4. I will happily combine shipping, WHEN I CAN, on multiple purchases, but please keep in mind that I need to adhere to eBay rules of shipping within 24 hours of your payment . So, if you intend on bidding on multiple items of mine, WITHIN 7 DAYS, please inform me and DO NOT PAY ME until I have sent you an invoice for all the items. Should you decide not to wait for a combined shipping invoice, please note that I will not refund any overpaid shipping, I will just assume that you are so thrilled with the overall deal, that saving a couple of bucks on shipping isn't important to you. 5. I ship to all countries served by the eBay Global Shipping Program. That said, eBay has been going back and forth, either accepting model trains one day or not accepting them another day, so please keep that in mind as you bid, if you are outside the USA. If eBay refuses to ship this item internationally, I WILL NOT ship it internationally myself and we will have to cancel the sale. 6. If I ship to a California address, I MUST charge 8% CA sales tax. If you are buying for resale and you have a California Resale Permit, I will be happy to accept it, BUT, you MUST fill out a California Resale Certificate (available on the State Board of Equalization website), fill it out legibly, sign it, scan it and email it to me BEFORE I can ship your purchase. This is California law! 7. If you have a problem with something you buy from me, PLEASE contact me at once, so we can try and resolve the matter. It is my goal to have you be TOTALLY SATISFIED and HAPPY and I want to EARN positive feedback from you, along with 5 star customer service. Along these lines, please feel free to forward any suggestions as to how I can do better. 8. As a seller, your positive feedback is VERY important to me. If you like your purchase and my service, PLEASE take a moment to tell others about it by leaving positive feedback for me. I would very much appreciate it and I'll happily do the same for you.THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS MR.ALLIED AUCTION AND ! read more
