  1. Crazy Sarahf

    Wow! Was I ever happy with this item, and let me tell you why. A vintage item at a rollback price, plus the fastest shipping. This seller did a great job packing it and just plain showed a great amount of professionalism that seemed like it was an easy thing to do. Thank you so much for the wonderful item.

    Items arrived exactly as listed - despite these magazines being >30 years old I received 2 copies in near mint condition. Good communication from seller. Reasonably priced. Shipped securely and well protected. Overall happy with and would trust future purchases.

    One of the cups was broken in transit. It could have used better packaging to avoid it being damaged. But the seller was fair enough to make a partial refund for the broken cup. The other one is in excellent conditions and as described.
