I know that as a used goods dealer, it's unusual to offer returns. Today I had a DVD player returned because it wouldn't read DVDs. I haven't bought a unit with a working TV since I opened up the shop a month ago, so I can't test the products for operability. If the light comes on, and the tray spits out, it goes on the floor. Because of this, I offer a 1 week return policy on anything that plugs in, even lamps and microwaves, etc. It seems to be a big hit with my customers who are more likely to purchase the item plus others.

Anyone else have a return policy? What are the terms?

If this was already discussed, I apologize. I did a search and got a lot of "tax return" threads.

The way I see it is, the heavier the object the smaller your potential sales market is. Unless I have someone in the field looking for the item that's for sale, I'm staying away. Around here, guys stay away from units because of items like TVs or an abundance of furniture, nevermind the commercial stuff.

I love vintage collectible stuff. If the door rolls up, and there's a Lionel train set, or a vintage guitar, or a vintage brand named box even, I'm all over it!

Yeah, I don't think it's related to Nazi Germany. It's widely used today in Indian culture as a symbol of luck and prosperity. Probably related to that. I guess it'll go in the trash..

I did see some stamps from that era on ebay.. so apparently they allow "some" stuff..

No makers mark. I know there's chips. In museums, they have just fragments of Chinese pottery pre-1910. I tend to be very careful when it comes to this stuff.. because you just never know! $4 it is!

Where was the museum? I used to live near Tarpon Springs, FL. Their major export is sponges. I used to see these helmets everywhere!

I'll go to a 1 unit auction if it's close to home. If I have to drive more than 10 miles, forget it. I used to go to them all, my thinking was the lower the number of units available, the less the crowd will be. Not the case.. So now the less number of units, the closer it has to be to my home or business.
