Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Presenting a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts! This auction features two vintage Imai large-scale plastic model trucks, both in as-found condition and ready for restoration. The first is the 'Kurojishi' Cement Mixer Truck Model, measuring approximately 15 x 5 1/2 x 4 1/2, while the 'Japan Line' Box Truck Model measures about 11 1/2 x 5 x 4 1/2. Both models show signs of age with dust, dirt, and missing parts. The Cement Mixer is missing the controller and has a bent front bumper, while the Box Truck is missing its entire front bumper and rear doors. These models offer a chance to restore or use them as parts donors. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of vintage Japanese toy history from Imai Kagaku, renowned for their detailed kits since 1949!
Checkout & Payment:
After the auction you can checkout two ways: Pay the invoice via Live Auctioneers/Proxibid or pay via the Lodestar Auctions website. Credit card fees apply both ways. 2.9% & $0.30 (4.4% & $0.30 international) through Lodestar Auctions and 4-5% through Live Auctioneers/Proxibid . Lodestar Auctions collects 7% sales tax for Illinois residents only. Live Auctioneers/Proxibid collects sales tax for most states. Check with them for sales rates for your state. Any unpaid items will be automatically charged by Live Auctioneers/Proxibid three days after end of auction. At checkout pay for the item only, shipping will be billed later. See below for shipping options to choose at checkout.
Shipping:
Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
Issues:
All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
Thanks for your patronage and happy bidding!
