My name is Michael and I have a lot of stuff. The problem is that I keep getting more stuff. Lucky for me, I recycle; 275,000 pounds so far. Life goal of 100 tons reached. What I present here on eBay are just some of the gems I find. I try my best to photograph (well) and document each items capabilities and features. Any testing performed on an item will be documented in the listing. I try my best to present only fully working items. Once in a great while an item slips through. This is why every auction has the following.

This is not to absolve me of all responsibility; I subscribe to the Five Star Service Guarantee. I just want you to be aware that while I try my best, there is a miniscule percent chance the item may be bad. Less than 0.25% - or 4 items for over 1600 sold so far and all but one (blindsided) resulted in positive feedback all around.

WEB RESEARCH
When I mention web research I will google multiple part numbers; chip numbers, other part numbers. I will track items down via what they work with, like docks for notebooks; I sometimes have to go through a whole line gathering data before I make determinations. I try to review 20 plus websites gathering data on the items that I offer on eBay. As always, my years of experience with the equipment is invaluable. When it comes to books, I have about a 1000 book personal library heavy into sci-fi and knowledge (reference)

I have 26 years experience with computers and electronics; and 11 years recycling. You can BUY with confidence when dealing with ChippiesAvalanche.

Common Sense
Below are several notes that can help explain many things. -- I am not one of those guys that itemize every conceivable possible single solitary detail [grin] but I do ask a few common sense things.

First and Foremost! If you are bidding or buying additional items; let me know!!!! I readily combine shipping!!!!

If the shipping is clearly preset, please pay when ready.
If the auction states PLUS ACTUAL POSTAGE, please click the "request total from seller" link during the checkout procedure.
If you live outside of the CONTINENTAL U.S., click the "request total from seller" link during the checkout procedure.

Please send me an email with any shipping requests such as class rate, tracking, insurance etc.
Please take a moment to verify eBay and PayPal have matching and current addresses. I often get different addresses from eBay and PayPal. Upon confirmation of payment, your item will be shipped immediately. (postal hours permitting) I ship daily Monday - Friday.

ChippiesAvalanche's RETURN POLICY only applies to items marked with the following:

While many of my auctions and store items have preset shipping / handling charges, many do not. The main reason for this is; the weight of the item directly impacts the price of shipping. A 10 pound item can vary in shipping costs by as much 8 dollars.

If the item you are interested in says PLUS ACTUAL POSTAGE, just simply click the "request total from seller" link during the checkout procedure. Please do NOT send payment yet, I will send an invoice within 24 hours Sunday - Friday.

Upon confirmation of payment, your item will be shipped immediately. (postal hours permitting) I ship daily Monday - Friday.

I am not responsible for items once they are in Postal hands - never had anything crunched, but a couple have gone astray. I highly recommend getting the delivery confirmation from USPS. Just add 60 cents to the adjustments section and note it in the invoice.

Because fees are charged on *EVERY* transaction in the amount of 30 cents + 2.9%.

If you pay before I send you your invoice, I have to go to Paypal and send a request for paymemt for the difference.

9 easy steps to pay after you get my invoice**
** if for some unknown or other odd reason you cant pay through eBay (it happens once in a while)

1. OPEN NEW BROWSER - do this for all financial transactions
2. login to Paypal
3. click send money tab
4. enter email address
5. sales@chippiesavalanche.com


6. enter total amount listed in the email or invoice
7. select "GOODS (other)"
8. enter auction number and quick desc. in subject and the notes.
9. send it.

Aside from PayPal, I also accept the following:

• Personal Check - Will ship once check has cleared my bank. This may take a while and NOT recommended.
• Money Order - 7-11,Postal,Wal-mart Fin. Svcs., types are fine along with all other secured funds checks. Will ship once received.
• Western Union - I have a close location and do not mind going over to pick up the cash. Will ship once received.
• If you have a suggestion for me to accept payments, please email me.**
• I do NOT accept QCHEX.
• I do NOT accept BANK OR WIRE TRANSFERS.

** I do NOT go blindly into websites that are asking for personal information. I research all suggestions and am phishing aware.

Any item listed on eBay must be bought through eBay. NO exceptions. This way, eBay gets it's cut, we both get ebay's seller and buyer protections. My primary goal is to prevent items from getting into landfills not cheat eBay of its rightful due.

If you want an item I have and wish to pick the item up locally, that is fine but you must buy the item on eBay! I will not "hold" an item. If you are trying to pickup the item locally, and the item sells before you pick it up, you lose. (sorry) So if you WANT it, BUY it. on that note:

I prefer to leave feedback second. The reason is that when you leave me feedback first, it tells me that you have received the item you won and that you are happy with it. I can then leave you positive feedback knowing that I have made yet another customer happy. if you have any issue with any auction, please email me with your concerns, my goal is to save the planet and have a happy customer! If you wish me to leave feedback first, just simply email me that you have received your particular item and are happy. Feedback will then be left at the next opportunity.

"I left you feedback, where's mine?"
I leave feedback about every 15-20 points or so. About every 2 weeks. Do not fear, EVERY auction receives feedback. Interesting side note, I have left about 2300 feedback but only received about 1800. (78%)

This will allow the people at my ISP to correct this problem. Then, if you have received my invoice, you can call me with the number provided therein.

I have not received any e-mails from you!
CHECK YOUR SPAM FILTER I usually have most items invoiced within 48 hours or less; unless a weekend is involved. then, if you buy on/after Friday afternoon I will invoice by Sunday night.
