Price: US $405.00
**THIS ITEM SHIPS TO ALL COUNTRIES SERVED BY THE 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 sale! Please have confidence in my 100% honest descriptions and please read the following carefully:
This isan IVES\"O\" Gauge, No. 3257R Electric Type Locomotive with two 141 Parlor Cars and a 142 Observation Car, Circa 1926. The set is known as the \"Gray Ghost.\" To me, the locomotive, which measures approx. 10\" long, looks to be 100% original paint and parts. I have not put power to it, but the wheels turn nicely, turning the gears that turn the armature. It appears to be complete. The cars each measure approx. 10\" long and are lighted and I am not sure just what the status is of the finish. At the very least, the bottom of the observation does not match the bottoms of the other two cars. At first I thought that the roofs had been repainted, but now I\'m not so sure. It is well known that Ives did some odd things when it came to painting, with factory touch-ups fairly common. The fact ofthe matter is that this is maybe the second one of these I have ever had over 45 years of collecting and I just don\'t know. So, I am selling this set based on the photos--and ONLY the photos. THE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. PLEASE LOOK THEM OVER VERY CAREFULLY. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! I MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES AS TO THE ORIGINALITY OF THIS SET! I am selling this Old Ives Gray Ghost Set \"as-is, as-found.\" Please look the photos over carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you place a offer.
Buyer pays shipping via USPS. Rate is by \"Shipping Calculator.\"
All shipments to a California address are subject to 8% sales tax. IMPORTANT, THIS IS HOW I SELL ON , 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 bePACKED WITH CARE, by someone who has been packing and shipping delicate items for over 40 years. And, your shipment will beFULLY 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 reuseother 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 oneach shipment, to cover my purchase of cartons, loose fill, tissue paper, packing paper, bubble wrap,packing tape, rubber bands, 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 selectedandpaid 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.4. I will happily combine shipping, WHEN I CAN, on multiple purchases, but please keep in mind that I need to adhere to rules of shipping within 24 hours of your payment. So, if you intend on offerding 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.5. I ship to all countries served by the Global Shipping Program. I ONLY offer international shipping via the Global Shipping Program.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 response 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 response is VERY important to me. If you like your purchase and my service, PLEASE take amoment to tell others about it by leaving positive response for me. I would very much appreciate it and I\'ll do the same for you.
