UNDERSTANDING "Lay-away's"  
(Please Read)

Lay-away Terms & Conditions

I will lay-away,  a specific item (or items) for you, if requested to do so, under
the following terms:  I will require an advance deposit of 25% of the price of
the item(s).  This can be in the form of a personal check, or the deposit can be
put on a credit card.  The item will be held for a period up to four months,
during which time you may make payments on it however you like, or pay the
balance when shipped.  If the transaction is not concluded during the four month
period, the item will be offered  for sale again to the general public and the
amount paid will be forfeited.  It is up to you, the customer, to remember to
make the payments - no notice or statement will be sent reminding you of the
payments due.  I will not accept "lay-away" for orders for less than $100 total
($25 down).  There may be several items on the order which individually cost
less, but the total order must be at least $100 in order to place them on lay-away.  

There is a limit of two lay-away orders per customer at any one time - there
may be several items per order, but only two active lay-aways per customer,
please.  Once something is put on lay-away, there is no changing-of-the-mind 
and cancelling the lay-away with expectations of a refund of the amount paid.  
The purpose of a lay-away is to remove it from the market for your convenience
and prevent other customers from buying it.  It is not fair to deny another
customer a purchase, to later have the person who put the item on lay-away
change their mind.  

To Place Items on Lay-away

To place something on lay-away, send in a regular order, and specify the
amount you wish to pay down, and on the order tell us to "Put on Lay-away".  
(There is a "Comment" section on the order to say this)

Making Payments on Lay-away Items

To make a payment on an existing lay-away, just fill out a regular order, show
your credit card info, your name, and the amount you want to pay. On the order,
just tell us "Payment on Previous Order" (there is a place for this on the order
form).  This is all you need to do.  You don't need the Item numbers, the cost
of the Items, or how much you have already paid - we already know this.  Or,
you can call us, or e-mail us - just tell us your name, and how much you want to
pay at this time if it's to be charged to the same card used in the original order.  

Lay-aways MAY leave the Web Site!

Once something is put on lay-away, it may remain on the web site UNTIL a
new Item is put on it it's place.  This may be a day, a week, a month, who knows?  
But it does NOT mean the item is no longer on lay-away.  There is no point on
leaving it displayed on the web when it is no longer for sale.  Your lay-away will
be here, safe and sound, in a bin with your name on it even tho you can't find it
on the Web Site.  The only way it will leave your bin, is for it to be paid for and
sent to you, or,  if the four months has passed it will be back on the web for sale
to anyone who orders it.
