Auction/Bidding on items: Before you bid on an item.  (see additional info below: Make sure you review it is the item you are looking for.  Do NOT just bid on something and then decide you do not want the item and retract/cancel the bid.  This is an auction.  It is up to you to review the items.  If the auction is over and then you decide NOT to pay you will be reported to the auction platform used after the 3-day auction end window as per our policies.  We DO NOT ship to other addresses other than listed on your payment account. This is strictly enforced by all auction platforms and our policies.  So, if you have changed your address and or moved.  It is up to you to make sure you update this ASAP before you bid.  It is NOT our responsibility, so don’t take it out on our company if you have not updated your information.  If you are a regular customer of ours and we have your information and billing CC information on file, some acceptations will be made.

Authentication Props, Autographs, Artifacts, COA’s and item/d information:  All artifacts and items are legally obtained.  We aim to provide the most current information about items.  We are all human, not perfect and don’t know everything.  We are ALL always learning new information.   So, if there is additional information that you can provide us, it would be helpful.  However, negative & derogatory comments/questions will not be answered and will not be tolerated.  They will be reported to the auction platform used and or our department ASAP.  You will be blocked as a buyer if this happens.  COAs are offered on some items.  KJ’s COA’s some of our artifacts, autographs & other collectables.  Please do note that COAs offered by us and other authenticators are our own certified opinion about the item/s being COA’ed.  With over 25+ years of experience from our staff. Information from other certified and reputable collectors/authenticators we achieve this information.  If we feel that an item is a reproduction/fake, we will note this or not sell this item.   Many items that we sell do have their own COA’s from a certified and reputable authentication company.  Now please do note:  Over the years some companies do go out of business due to wither retirement from the field and or hard times.  This DOES NOT make this past authentication a fraud or fake.  It just means the company is no longer in business.  Times do change and companies unfortunately don’t last forever.  Our authentication guarantee:  If you do choose to have an item/s purchased from KJ’s Collectables reevaluated by another certified authentication company/s. (Note: Artifact review.  Must be a certified authenticator with a license and or degree in the areological field.  Autographs:  Must be a busines that is certified in the field.  OPINONS DON Not apply here!  Everyone can have an opinion.  This does not mean they are right or wrong.  The authenticator must be certified in the field) If the certified authenticator finds that the item is fake/reproduction.  KJ’s will accept your return with this documentation written proof from the authenticator.  Once item/s have been returned to KJ’s Collectables.  Our department will review and validate this information sent to us with item.  Once approved, your item purchase fees will be credited/refunded.  Item purchase fees will be refunded/credited.  Shipping and handling fees do not apply and are not part of the refund.  If item/s is returned after 30days and you paid with a credit card or merchant processing payment.  These fees are still collected by the processor and we can NOT credit back these fees which are typically 4%.  Any validations will be approved up to sixty (60) days after purchase date.  After this date.  This offer is null in void and is no longer valid.

Other terms and info:  These terms are implemented to not only to protect honest buyers but our company as well.  This is NOT a retail store!  Most items are used, vintage and collectable.  All items are sold AS IS WHERE IS to the best of our knowledge.  There are NO returns on most items. Artifacts, props, autographs and some items do offer returns (please review item/s for this offering) AS a buyer it is up to YOU to ask questions, review item/s details & pictures to gather more information.  This is an AUCTION not a new item retail store.  Due to eBay’s poor customer service, new unforgiving policies for sellers and bad buyers not reviewing items, terms, understanding how auctions or direct collectable sales work.  Assuming these are NEW retail items offered with a return/warranty is not the way to look at it because they are NOT.  We sell only vintage/collectable items at KJ’s, not NEW. We have to implement these policies in place for the dishonest buyers that take advantage of the system.  It is up to you to make sure you review write up and pictured items when buying.  Please DO NOT just bid without reviewing write up/s and pictures.   KJ’s Collectables aims to provide you with the most detailed information possible about items we are selling.  We by all means do not know everything but we try to provide you with the most information we can by collecting data from the internet, books, archeologists/historical groups & other collectors.  We are always more and happy to answer any questions, so ask questions.  However, inadequate or just plain ignorant questions WILL NOT be responded to.   If we are selling vintage items such as tin toys, trucks, collectables and anything past 10 years or older or used items, etc.   We try to point out all the flaws as best as possible. We are NOT going to cover items with a fine-tooth comb.  This means if there is a small chip, paint imperfection or any other flaws we didn’t see or can’t see.  It is not up to us to be a quality inspection specialist.  Come on, these are vintage items and all true collectors know this and what to look for.  So please review as needed.  This NOTE: goes out to the buyers that try to take advantage of the system and or are NOT true collectors and know how vintage items work/are sold.   If an item is electronic, we will disclose if it works, has a possible problem or hasn’t been tested.  Please note: There are NO returns on electronics (new or used).  We ARE NOT the manufacture of these items.  So, we do not have the background and ability in repairing electronics, most vintage and new items, if we don’t specialize in this.    When selling sports cards, paper items, comics, non-sports cards, etc.  Our goal is to provide you with the grading quality of the items to the best of our knowledgeable opinion and tell you everything we can that may be possibly wrong with the item.  * When selling Native American Artifacts items:  Our staff is not by any means an archeologist, biologist or is history professor but we have been collecting for 25+ years and studied this field (Not only gaining knowledge through other collections, literature but have studied this field in great detail). We do have the knowledge in identifying reproductions, approximate time periods and consulting with other collectors and dealers in providing the most adequate information possible.  Some of the artifacts were personal finds in Ohio, PA, Kentucky and Indiana.  Others were bought/traded through other collectors, auctions, flea markets and or consigned by other collectors to be sold by us.  This means that when we buy items.  We are not only buying them from reparative sellers and graders but other knowledgeable collectors as well.   We DO NOT take kindly to reproductions.  Reproductions and untrue opinions are ruining the market for collectors like us that enjoy this hobby.     That is why KJ’s Collectables gives the guarantee as stated above.    We have had some buyers give their opinion and note that artifacts need mineralization in all flints found. This proves to be true in some of the much older pieces that have been in the ground longer but I have personally found items that I have not only inspected myself but had certified collectors with 50+ years’ experience inspect that say NOT all artifacts will have mineralization in them.  It can also depend upon flint used as well.  So please be sure to have these pieces inspected by a certified collector, if you are in question?  You may call or e-mail us anytime with any questions.   Number and e-mail posted on business card listed.   We would be more and happy to cover additional details/questions about items and findings. ALL of our items are a piece of history.  By NO means should history be erased.  This is the past and we shale look on to it and learn from it.  Not try to destroy it or take it as offensive.  So, if it offends you and you don’t like history.  Then we recommend a different hobby.
