*** AND, also offering you an eBay buy-it-now- option,,, "IF" NO ONE ELSE STARTS THE AUCTION.
and showing YOU what the FEDEX shipping, ON THE GUITAR & CASE (21 pounds),,, special handling, insurance, and DIRECT signature delivery will cost at $ 67.30 for the Lower continental 48 states,,, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are Much Higher Shipping thru FEDEX because of surcharges having NO direct highway ground transportation,,, (or at least that what I was told on my Last guitar shipment to Hawaii,,, what a huge surprise that was too me at the FEDEX Shipping terminal).
Now Let me Clarify a few things,,,
EBAY requires me to List this BASS Guitar and CASE as either,,
''NEW'' --- "OPEN BOX" --- or "USED",,,
So I have Listed it here as NEW,,, OPEN-BOX,,, NOS (new old stock) from my own Retail music Store.
IT is ''NOT'' used,,, I have NEVER SOLD IT,,, I am the owner of the store, SO I KNOW THIS !!!
IT is a grade "A" stock,,, (not 'b' stock) ???
IT is a real factory brand built guitar,,, Not an "OFF" BRAND,,, Not an UNBRANDED or DIY kit guitar.
IT is BRAND-NEW,,, never sold,,, never rented,,, never Loaned out as a Demo.
IT is an OPEN-BOX, because it does NOT come sealed in a plastic wrapper bag,,,   AND it was inside its factory shipping box before I opened it and put it inside this Case,  OPEN-BOX out of it's case inside MY Retail Music Store,,, On Display.
IT comes inside this MBTEBCW-1 case from MY Personally Own Retail Music Store.

We "MIGHT"  also be showing you what the USPS
1st Class
USA mailing & HANDLING with the USPS tracking number,,, on our
PACKAGE
will cost and the
AIR BUBBLE-LINED ENVELOPE
, we are using as our
mailing packaging
.
DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER BOXES FOR HEAVIER ITEMS OF PRIORITY OR FEDEX SHIPMENTS.
WE also reserve the right to exchange "MAILING" boxes based on your regional ZIP-CODE postal service address,,, this will NOT effect the end postage prices, or weight of shipping costs,,, IT merely changes the actual SIZE of the box I choose IF a different BOX is needed for better security during transit .
Because we know that you know there is NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING,,, we show you the actual cost,,, what you are paying for and how we arrived at it by the NEW 2020 USPS postage rates and/or FEDEX's rates for ground home delivery and their package surcharges
.
Including the postage fee / or shipping fee  inside the price of the items and NOT telling you how it will be BOXED and shipped DOESN'T MAKE IT FREE or "
SAFE "
against DAMAGES ???
I have received many items I purchased on EBAY that were damaged during shipping / transit  because of POOR PACKAGING and FREE SHIPPING.
I '' DO NOT '' ship anything that is " NOT " over-packed and well stuff for its protection during transit.   I am OCD when it comes to packaging up your items !!!     L@@K at some of my feedback where folks state how well MY PACKAGES are packed !!!
Someone has to pay the POSTAGE fee,,, the government does not actual ship these things for Free  and for the packaging products we use,,, these items or things are NOT actually supplied for free to us,,, LOL,,, just some of the boxes.
*** AND with us you know exactly what you are getting for your prices paid,,, and NOT having to assume what you are getting for FREE.
MOST of the time I actually show you a photograph of the envelope or box I am using for mailing or shipping.
I have been told others are NOT as good as we do ???
SOME PACKAGES ARE LOST AND/OR DAMAGED DUE TO POOR PACKING,,, Regular type cheap envelopes with just a stamp and NO TRACKING NUMBERS,,, AND/OR  " NOT " INSURED IF THE ITEMS VALUE IS LOW,,,
Look at our feedback and see I have been an E-bay member since 2001.
SEE WHAT OTHER EBAY BUYERS ARE SAYING IN MY FEEDBACK REVIEW ABOUT MY PACKAGING,, HANDLING AND SHIPPING OF THEIR ITEMS.
WE explain and show you what you are getting and how much it costs !!!
UPS was "NOT" an option,,, much higher shipping costs.
***ALSO NO DELIVERY AVAILABLE TO GUAM and/or the VIRGIN ISLANDS at this time.
I
am an OLD MAN with the tremors & shakes and thick tri-focals I reserve the right to make errors,,, TYPO's,,,  "BUT" PLEASE before hanging me out to dry,,,  PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE email or message me thru this Listing  about your questions or concerns before buying or bidding.  BECAUSE once you have made a commitment to purchase,,,  eBay themselves will "NOT" let the advertisement be changed,,, altered or amended.  IT IS THEN A DONE DEAL !!!
Thank-you for LOOKING at all of our CLOSEOUT MUSICAL MERCHANDISE IN OTHER E-BAY ADVERTISEMENTS.
*** INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING MIGHT BE  AVAILABLE THRU THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER AND THEY WILL QUOTE YOU ON WHAT THE ACTUAL MAILING OUTSIDE OF THE USA AND CUSTOM FEES WILL COST YOU TO YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTRY.   GUITARS have to pass the CITIES endangered species of wood LAW,,, therefore some guitars might "NOT" be able to ship OUTSIDE of the USA brand-new ???
I DO "NOT" KNOW WHAT THIS WOOD BODY IS MADE OF,,, I DO NOT THINK IT IS ENDANGERED DUE TO THE GUITARS ACTUAL MONEY VALUE.
*****I also hereby state to you that I can  ''NOT'' and will  "NOT" be held responsible  for  either  E-BAY Global shipping center,,, their shipping handlers and/or the customs folks deciding to open and re-package or re-box this item unit for either inspection purposes or their desire to attempt to re-package or re-box it in a smaller package box for their shipping benefits.  IF THEY DO THIS,,, THAT IS ''NOT'' MY PROBLEM,,,   AS STATED IN E-BAY's GLOBAL SHIPPING TERMS FOR SELLERS,,,  MY  ACTUAL RESPONSIBLITY ENDS WITH THIS PACKAGE,,,  ONCE THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO AND ACCEPTED BY THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER IN KENTUCKY USA.
*** "IF" it is held in customs and "NOT " deliverable to you or your country,,, that is "OUT " of MY control and is NOT my responsibility.
ONCE THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO,,, SIGNED FOR,,, AND ACCEPTED BY EBAY GLOBAL,,, MY RESPONSIBILITY ENDS.
THANK-YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING !!!
