PELHAM PUPPETS Marlborough Wilts UK England MARIONETTE Elephant w/ Deluxe BOX

Description: HELLO, and WELCOME to kentuckyrebel'srock'n'rollheaven, where I've specialized in selling MUSIC MEMORABILIA for over TWENTY YEARS on eBAY (and MANY MORE YEARS in the outside world, long before the advent of online auctions) and am clearly spreading my wings a bit with COLLECTIBLES such as this! THANKS, too, for the interest in my music group's last CD, "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES"--free downloadable samples being AVAILABLE ONLINE at AllMusic and, of course, THE ECHOES OFFICIAL WEBSITE--and for the overwhelming response to our follow-up CD, "NOW HEAR THIS," online and in stores now! The WINNER of this "kentuckyrebel" AUCTION will receive ONE (1) 100% original, RARE, and vintage ELEPHANT MARIONETTE--as manufactured by PELHAM PUPPETS of ENGLAND; and, in this instance (as well as other instances with my listings), adorned in identical attire to that pictured on PELHAM PUPPETS BOXES from that period--in highly DISPLAYABLE and / or PLAYABLE CONDITION, complete with DELUXE BOX (which does show wear, as well as says ''Mother Dragon'' on it, but has done an admirable job protecting its highly collectible contents)! Having been into PELHAM PUPPETS and PUPPETRY since I was a wee, little lad, I've always taken GREAT CARE of my MARIONETTES, kept their STRINGS UNTANGLED, and STORED them SAFELY in their BOXES--although please SEE PHOTOS for condition, as well--my hating to GRADE my items since so many sellers seem to abuse both the English language and Oxford dictionary: adding a plethora of plusses to their own definitions of VG, EX, NM, etc. However, as is noted in my FEEDBACK FILE, I don't sell junk (since I, personally, don't like buying junk on eBay--or anywhere else, for that matter); and feel certain that this auction is SURE TO PLEASE the WINNING BIDDER (especially at the OPENING BID)! I always COMBINE SHIPPING on multiple auctions, and prefer to ship items by PRIORITY MAIL (with most items paid for using this method receiving "HYPERSPACE" / same day SHIPPING), but will make concessions since FED EX or UPS may be less expensive (and may be used by me, in place of PRIORITY MAIL, in the event of MULTIPLE WINS since, as indicated, every ADDITIONAL AUCTION / ITEM SHIPS FREE). I also REFUND any amount overpaid on POSTAGE--although given I always add INSURANCE, and the fact eBay takes 10% of shipping off the top, I tend to lose money on, rather than profit from, POSTAL COSTS. Reluctantly, with the USPS having continued to RAISE THEIR RATES FOR ITEMS LEAVING THE COUNTRY--which all but killed my OVERSEAS SALES--coupled with eBay's insisting I provide TRACKING and PayPal insisting I add INSURANCE, I joined the eBay INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PROGRAM in hopes of saving my buyers money, but have since found out that this isn't always so. In cases such as these, I'm more than happy to look into OVERSEAS POSTAGE myself, when asked, and definitely recommend this for buyers wanting to make MULTIPLE PURCHASES since eBay's INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING doesn't tend to COMBINE SHIPPING, and I can usually save my customers a considerable amount when handling SHIPMENT for them directly.As this is an AUCTION--and not a DEPARTMENT STORE--I don't accept RETURNS; but since I try to be as thorough as possible in my descriptions, always include INSURANCE at my own expense, and (as my FEEDBACK notes) am known for my PACKING ABILITIES, there should be no foreseeable problems. I'm also known for my "LIGHT YEAR" / speedy SHIPMENT upon receiving PAYMENT; and always NOTIFY my buyers when payment is received and their item has SHIPPED! THANK YOU for looking; and PLEASE feel free to CONTACT ME with any QUESTIONS you have about this or any other of my eBay AUCTIONS, check my eBay STORE, read my ABOUT ME page, ask about my music group THE ECHOES, and please check out my other AUCTIONS on eBay THIS WEEKEND!
