" BESTCAP COLLECTABLES "

To the `MONKEY FOOD` down in TETBURY, who `traded me in` for a few Shekkels, I have but one answer - "TOUGH - YOU FAILED AGAIN" but, remember what you were once told, about crossing me! Now, it is my turn!

" MR BEAN " & " THE KILOWARE QUEEN "

WIGAN`S answer to " THE GRUMPY COUPLE "

" SIMPLY THE BEST " == " BETTER THAN ALL THE REST "

We both NEED to "downsize" so please, HELP US OUT !!!

We will start listing some more stuff this month and it will all start at around 99p!

WHATEVER you are looking for, we may just have it !

We have a large and varied stock of material including, many 1,000`s of Postage Stamps, around 25,000 Old Picture Postcards, well over 10,000 GB and Worldwide Coins and somewhere in the region of 2 Metric Tonnes of Ephemera, Books, Magazines, Billheads, Sheet Music, etc.

The Postage & Handling (P&H) is as follows

On all UK sales of small items such as Picture Postcards and Postage Stamps, the P&H is as listed on the FIRST purchase. All subsequent purchases made on the SAME DAY will be charged at 25p each. This covers ALL aspects of the P&H.

Our mailings of Photographs and Picture Postcards are sent between 2 Card Stiffeners and placed into a Padded Envelope, all to minimise any damage within the mail system.

A NEW Padded Cover (30p) together with 2 Card Stiffeners (20p) and a PiP 52p Stamp = £1.02p ! Add FUEL to that as the nearest P.O.is 3 MILES away from my Unit and all in all, I actually LOSE money on Postage !

With regard to bulkier lots such as Boxes of Stamps, Books, etc. the P&H will be AS STATED in the respective listings and will reflect the current postal charges, the VAT and a small amount for the Packing that these items take. Multiple Purchases will be the respective P&H ADDED TOGETHER.

These P&H rates are FINAL and are NOT negotiable after the auctions close.

We offer Insurance on ALL of our mailings. This is a "must have" if you require security and are at all concerned about mail going missing. However, it is an OPTIONAL extra, as some buyers do not want to pay the extra charges. If you do pay the extra amount, you will be fully covered in the event of a lost item and the subsequent claim form being submitted to the relevant Postal Authority. If you choose NOT to accept the Insurance, then in the event of the material getting lost, we CANNOT be held liable in ANY way and as such, NO COMPENSATION will be paid by ourselves. All Insured Mail requires a Certificate that we will retain for 12 Months. All non Insured Mail does not require any Certificate but, to PROVE we have sent the material to you, we will get a standard Certificate of Posting which, we will retain for 3 Months. All non-insured mail is collected by Royal Mail as Ordinary mail and as such is NON-TRACKABLE. Please bear this in mind, when paying your final total. Thank you.

Our Settlement Terms are very simple.

PAYPAL will only be accepted at MY discretion. If the winning bid is less than £5 and you pay using PAYPAL, I have the right to refuse it, as it costs me far more in Fees than what profit I can make.

Full Payment MUST be received within 7 Days on UK sales and within 10 Days on Worldwide sales.

If we do not receive payment within the above time scales, you WILL receive a "Non-Paying Bidder Warning" direct from eBay.

We will accept payment by the following methods only. If you cannot pay by these methods, please DO NOT BID.

Within the UK, I prefer payment by CHEQUE or POSTAL ORDER only.

On ALL non UK sales, by INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT in GBP Sterling (Drawn on a LONDON/UK Clearing Bank).

If you would like to pay me in `readies`, then please advise me PRIOR to bidding as I cannot place that payment method on screen!

Under no circumstances, will we accept $ Cheques (Checks) from ANY country, as we are UNABLE to change them here in the UK.

PLEASE, do yourselves a favour - if you have no intention of paying us for your winning bids, don`t bother bidding in the first place. All you will be doing is wasting our time, stopping "true" bidders from winning and, in the end, you will end up with "Non-Paying Bidder Warnings" from eBay and VERY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK from ourselves.

We do NOT send Payment Reminders after the 3 Days. All you will get is the NPB Warning from eBay. These notices will be sent out automatically on the last payment date and we then have the right to re-offer the material to an underbidder.

We will abide by the above statements and we fully expect you to do likewise. If in ANY doubt whatsoever, please e.mail us BEFORE leaving a bid, as once a bid has been placed, we fully expect you to honour it IN FULL. Thank you.
