This is a barely used giant Teddy Bear by Classic Carousel.  It features leather pads on it's paws and quality construction.  It's too big and heavy for economical shipping so I'm listing it for local pickup.

If you wish to communicate with me AFTER the auction ends, please include your email address in your question because eBay message forwarding will NOT allow me to reply after the auction has closed. If you get a "Second Chance" offer by email after the item sells, be SURE to go to your "MY EBAY" and check to see if the message appears there.

If you wish to communicate with me AFTER the auction ends, please include your email address in your question because eBay messge forwarding will NOT allow me to reply after the auction has closed. Please use "ask seller a question" link above for brief questions and feel free to call me at 603-357-5040 during the day with longer questions or those requiring complex answers.   As a licensed auctioneer, I sell a wide range of items but my expertise is in consumer electronics and antiques, so please bear with me if my description of items outside those areas are weaker.       . I make every effort to treat others as I  wish to be treated.  Here are my rules and terms:    I Guarantee items to match the description.  Items that differ substantially from the description may be returned at buyer's expense for refund of BID price ONLY.     Items that substantially match the description but NOT the buyer's expectations MAY NOT be returned.        I make every effort to describe items accurately and completely and to be conservative in my claims.   Some items, like auto stereo components may NOT be returned once the package has been opened and items described as NEW and that qualify for manufacturer's warranty may NOT be returned but should be delivered to manufacturer or manufacturer's authorized warranty service facility for repair in the event of failure during the warranty period.  If you request it, I will furnish a retail bill of sale to support your warranty claim.    I NEVER charge "handling charges" or any other bogus added fees or Sales Tax.  My "shipping" charges DO include cost of packing material and are averaged so a few buyers pay less than my actual cost, and a few somewhat more.                                                     Shipping Charges for lower 48 by my choice of delivery method are quoted at the Bottom of the page.  I assume buyer will be on the opposite coast when I estimate shipping and reserve the right to charge less if buyer is much closer.   Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii are usually higher so please ask for quotation before bidding. Pickup:Item may be picked up at Interface, 660 Main Street, Keene, NH 03431 except in auctions of items so large or heavy that they are retained by the owner. In those cases, payment is made to me but pickup is from location of item. Location and instructions for getting there will be furnished to winner.  If you Pick the item up  NO shipping charges or sales tax will be due.  Options:  I prefer to ship lightweight items by mail and heavier items by UPS ground for lowest cost but will entertain requests to ship by other methods if buyer is willing to pay the additional cost.     UPS requires a street address and will NOT deliver to a PO box so buyers lacking a street address may have to pay additional cost for delivery by mail. (and insurance, if desired) International shipments are usually shipped by parcel post (lowest cost) and buyer has the option of air or surface transport. Very lightweight items are always mailed via Air Mail.  Postal rules limit weight and box size and vary by destination country, so some items MUST be shipped by commercial shipper.  In those cases I utilize UPS.   I'll be happy to quote shipping outside the lower 48 on request.                                                                             Packing    I pack professionally using sturdy cartons, padded envelopes, and ample quantities of foam peanuts and/or bubble wrap to insure that items I ship arrive undamaged and so have VERY few items damaged in shipping.  I double box high value items to conceal the contents from prying eyes.  When practical, I re-use packing materials in an effort to minimize environmental impact and keep material cost down.      Postal insurance is expensive so I don't insure low value items (under $100)  shipped by parcel post but UPS provides free insurance for the first hundred dollars value so I ALWAYS insure items shipped by UPS.      I offer the option of insurance to international customers who request it and are willing to pay the additional cost.                                                         Payment OptionsI offer a wide range of payment options including: Personal and business checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover charge cards and PAYPAL (Both bank and card funded). You may pay for items selling for up to $1000.00 in full with PayPal or charge card if you qualify, but in the case of items selling for OVER $1000.00, you may only pay a security deposit of $1000 by charge card or PayPal and must pay the balance by certified check, international money order or Electronic Funds Transfer to my bank account. EFT payment must be received at least 3 days prior to picking up item. If you have any questions about these terms, please call or email me.    Customers in the United States and Canadian  wishing to  pay with a charge card, may call me with card information subject to the condition that the shipping address furnished MUST match the billing address for the card.  I will NOT ship to an address differing from the billing address.    International customers (except Canadians) must pay with either International Money Order or by PayPal (see dollar limits above).  Of course, I accept US cash for items picked up but NOT for items shipped, in accordance with eBay rules.    I do NOT accept COD orders.    Items paid for with secured funds will normally be shipped on the 1st business day following receipt of funds. Items paid for by EFT will ship 3 days after receipt of funds by my bank.       Items paid for with a check will be delayed 10 days before shipping to allow for check to clear.
