FAQs

Q:  Do you combine shipping and invoices?

A:  Yes, if you win multiple auctions on one day you will receive a combined invoice with only one charge for shipping (which is free for fixed-price store items), regardless of how many items you win.  If you win auctions on different days, you will receive a consolidated invoice each day you win with all previous purchases.

Q:  What are your office hours?

A:  EBay for us is a business, and a very fun one to be in!  We are open M-F 9 to 5.  Therefore, we do not return e-mails and phone calls over the weekend.

Q:  Where did these originate?

A:  These photographs are from the Detroit News photo archive.

Q:  Can the photos be cleaned?

A:  Yes.  Grease pencil markings can be wiped off with a dry paper towel.  Permanent marker can be removed with a baby wipe, Clorox wipe, or denatured alcohol.  We do not clean the photos prior to shipping them out--we leave it up to you the customer to determine whether or not you want to clean them.

Q:  How quickly do you ship the items once paid?

A:  We typically ship the same day payments clear, always by the next day.  If you do not receive an order shipped email from us by the close of the next business day from submitting payment, please e-mail us.  We use eBay's software to manage our auctions and about one-tenth of one percent of transactions do not sync up with Paypal (much to our dismay).
