This listing is for a vintage cast iron gear sprocket part.   Check out my many other vintage items as well. I do combine shipping if possible.  eBay will charge you the whole shipping on multiple purchases, but I will refund the difference when the items ship.  Shipping in the U.S. is $12.   PLEASE LOOK OVER THE ITEM AND IF YOU WANT MORE DETAILS, I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM AS BEST I CAN.  I get many messages a day so I may not always get back to you right away.  I have many customers that will buy multiple items. I can combine shipping on many items, but it depends on size or shape etc. Let me know which items you are interested in before buying and I can let you know what I can do. I usually have well over 1,000 listings of mostly vintage, antique and unique items. If you like the old or unique stuff, like I do, keep an eye on my listings. I have new listings every week and go to about 100 auctions a year looking for old and unusual items. Buy with confidence, I have sold over 61,000 items on eBay with only a handful of impossible to please negatives (you know the type). I also have over 2,200 followers and most are repeat customers.  I am human and very rarely mistakes happen, just give me a chance to fix it if it does.  I love my California and Florida customers, but California and Florida postal workers seem a little slow. Whenever there is a delay in delivery, it seems to happen in CA or FL. The package always shows up but sometimes there is a delay (small percentage). I just wanted to let you know I have more delays in those states than any others.  

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: I ship internationally through eBay's global shipping program. They do not allow me to send you an invoice and shipping rates overseas are out of my control.  It sounds like they really gouge international customers but nothing I can do about it. I used to ship directly myself but here was my problem. Someone would want a quote. I would have to go find the item, usually a different town. I would then box it up and get a quote from the post office. I would message the customer and they would tell me no thanks that's too expensive. Then I would have to make sure it gets put back in the right spot so when someone bought it, I could find it. Definitely not worth my time. Let's just say, I learned my lesson.

I have returns marked paid by buyer. That is just to cut down on buyer remorse returns. If an item is damaged or I am at fault on something I WILL pay for return shipping.

The above info was the more important stuff. ONLY READ BELOW IF YOU ARE BORED!!

I have noticed lately that some packages are moving very slowly. Doesn't matter if they are first class or priority. Some 3 day packages have been taking 3 weeks! I cannot make USPS scan your package. If it shows that the package has processed through Huron SD I promise it is not still sitting there. It just has not been scanned through its travels. Not sure why. eBay is giving very optimistic delivery times and many packages are not meeting them. Thank you for being patient. 

Okay, it's time to vent. If you are the kind of person to buy an item and then not pay for it and leave the seller negative feedback, don't buy from me.(yes, that has happened). I still don't understand how eBay allows that to happen. Also, if you leave negative feedback because the USPS takes their time with it, don't buy from me. I'll ship within 3 business days and then it is out of my hands. I wish I could ship out faster but I am on the road a lot and I have my items stored in two different towns and out in the country. You never know about delivery speed so all my listings say can be up to 10 business days. Rarely, an item is permanently lost and then I'll just refund. Lastly, if you leave negative feedback because you don't like my shipping charges, don't buy from me. Yes, I can put free shipping on all of my items but I'll raise my listing prices and you will pay the same anyway. There are no hidden shipping charges. My price is clearly listed. Some people have higher and some have lower on similar items. I just try to break even with my fees.  I have flat shipping charges no matter where you live. Some states I lose a little, some states I make a little depending on how far away you are. Keep in mind eBay takes a percentage from me on shipping charges. I have thousands of happy customers and very few negative people. Hopefully, you can see that. Thanks for taking the time and putting up with the rant.  Sorry, I have some more below.          

Every once in a while someone will message me after the USPS takes their time with a package. WHERE IS MY ITEM?? Do you honestly think I know?  Maybe if I was hand delivering it, I would know. If I am in South Dakota and you are in Florida my guess is somewhere in between. I can have my postal worker run a search but that is the best I can do. Like I said earlier, if it doesn't make it, I will refund.  

I have been accused a couple times now of adding sales tax. I DO NOT DO THAT!   I have no control of that. That is your state and you need to complain to your local politicians. (okay, that was funny, probably not going to get you very far, but you can try).

Please keep in mind, I am away a lot.  Especially during duck hunting season.  I really love going to auctions but if the duck migration is on, I'm probably in the duck blind.  I had a person message me 5 times in a half hour and seemed annoyed I did not get back to them immediately. I am really busy and will get back to you when I can. I also take one random day off each week. I will do no eBay business during this day. It is hard for some people to believe but I do have a life away from eBay. I definitely do not sit at my computer 24 hours a day. 

What is in the water in Smithfield, North Carolina. Get a load of this. A guy from there called me a m-eFer S.O.B. an A word couple of B words and that was just the first sentence. I had the audacity to charge him $29 for shipping an item that cost $27 to ship. Of course, I still lose money because of eBay fees. It isn't the early eBay days when people would sell an item for .99 and charge $50 for shipping because eBay didn't take a percentage from shipping. They caught on and do so now. Not only that, I had the nerve to ship an item out on Monday after he paid on Friday and it was not delivered by Wednesday. Shame on me. How do I live with myself??? I live in South Dakota, I can read a map,  that is a long distance. Sometimes it takes a while. I am extremely busy, that is why all my listings say ship in three business days and may take 10 business days to be delivered. Even after that time USPS is a little late.  He is lucky it went out in one business day and still not happy. I'm sure that negative is coming. A negative from this guy, I will call a compliment!! GMAFB

Believe it or not, I am actually a really nice guy and not a jerk that some may think with the rants. At least my wife thinks so! LOL I'm just trying to save on future headaches for buyer and seller. I guess they are not really rants, more like factual eBay experiences. Just communicate like a civilized human being and I will do my best to make sure you are a satisfied customer. Thank you to 99% of my eBay customers for the positive experiences.
