Vermont Stereoscope/Stereoview card: Otter Creek near Rutland

Description

Start your collection of postcards or stereoscope/view cards from each state!
CONDITION:
* Used/vintage, in as-is condition.
Postcards:
Some are blank, some are already used/postmarked. I aim to be as transparent as possible about the condition in the pictures, so zoom in! Yes, some have tattered/ripped edges, some don't. I have hidden nothing EXCEPT IN SOME CASES THE RECIPIENT'S IDENTIFICATION (unless I absolutely know 100% based on age of the postcard or info from the family/estate that the recipients are deceased. If I'm not sure, I used a photo editing "highlighter" to digitally blur out the addresses, or I obscured it with my hand or another card), so enjoy the patina!
SHIPPING:
* POSTCARDS/MEDIA:
I've included your shipping costs on this listing. *****IF YOU WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL/DIFFERENT, YOU MUST LET ME KNOW BEFORE YOU PAY! When a buyer wins/pays, I print the label and ship based on this listing. I can't just print out another label and chase down the package after it's shipped ;)
Here's how I chose your shipping cost:
---1st choice: I will send them in a regular envelope whenever possible. eBay provides tracking for things like postcards, trading cards, stamps, etc. Pros: cheapest! Cons: your purchase may need more protection if it's more than 2-3 postcards or is very fragile (ie: photomailer or bubble pack).
---2nd choice: Photomailer or bubble pack, sent via media mail. Pros: cheaper than priority. Cons: takes longer than priority, and may very well get jostled about in the mail trucks. Again, I package the items as carefully as possible. This also has tracking.
---3rd choice: Priority mail (again, it has tracking). Pros: it gets to you quicker, potentially less jostling around during shipping/delivery. Cons: usually slightly higher in cost, but is insured, etc. You can read more on USPS's website.
* I only ship to continental USA addresses.
* I'm of the mindset of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Your packaging may be reused; I may use CLEAN/recycled protective wrapping, like newspaper, bubble wrap, etc. I don't smoke, I don't have any pets, and I make sure the packaging is secure/will often include cardboard backing if rigidity is needed. Please consider these values and pass them on--little steps DO matter!!
* Once you pay in-full and on-time (within 2 business days of sale), I will ship your item via USPS, either priority, media mail, or flat rate (whichever is cheaper); see the shipping price for this listing. Once shipped, I will include the tracking number in the overview, so you can see where your package is. I don't offer expedited or overnight shipping.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
* Whenever possible, I offer combined shipping on purchases you made at the same time--reach out to let me know, especially if one auction ends sooner. I’ll be delighted if you buy more more of my stuff, after all!
* Caveat: I will NOT end an auction early. The highest paying bidder at the end of the auction wins. So, if you ask me to wait to mail your 1st winning item because you want me to combine shipping with the 2nd one that you THINK you'll win (but haven't yet), you take that risk. If you don't win that 2nd auction, you may get your 1st item a little later (based on you initially asking me to possibly combine shipping). If you don't win that 2nd item, your loss is not an acceptable excuse to demand a refund for the 1st item. eBay has policies, which I encourage all of us (buyers, sellers) to reference, learn, and abide by.
PAYMENT:
* Non-payment will be reported to eBay
