Tools For Sale
Tools for Sale --
Terms:
All items purchased from my Ebay Store come with an unconditional money back
guarantee, often including return shipping. Excessive returns by a party may result in a
revocation of these policies on a case by case basis.
Shipping:
Shipping cost is provided in my Ebay listings for U. S. sales; International orders are
charged tool cost plus actual shipping charges. I usually use USPS, but sometimes use
UPS for heavier items.
Grading:
My grading system is a fairly simple combination of different systems I have seen over the
years. I use the following categories: fine, very good, good plus, good minus, fair, and
poor. I often give a bracket of grades, such as good minus to fair. I have not devised an
intricate system like I have seen for some tools like planes that goes into great detail about
percentage of finish, working parts, etc., because it is hard to adapt a system like that to a
wide range of tool types.
Most tools of interest to a collector will be good plus to fine. Most tools that have seen use
and still have some left fall in the good to good minus range. Tools in the fair to poor range
are either just for an example until you find something better or for parts.
I try be conservative when grading tools. I grade very few tools higher than good plus. I will
try to list the percentage of finish and other characteristics that will help you understand the
condition of the tool, where applicable. You can look at my feedback on Ebay (ID - wvtools)
to get an ID on how I grade, pack, and resolve problems. I have over 500 positives, no
negatives.
