We cater to first time GI buyers. Don't worry, we are real. We provide our phone number as part of our response to your first inquiry. You can purchase from us with total ease and confidence. We will guide you through the purchasing process if need be. We are a Platinum dealer and Verified Seller on GI having placed over 3500 listings so far. GI is the only site on which we advertise.
We strive to describe all our sale items accurately and fully and include professional quality photos of each one. Although we offer a 3-day, no questions asked, return policy it has rarely been used the entire 56 years (since 1960) we have been in business under the same ownership.
The first potential buyer who states that he definitely wants an item gets it. Those having questions who do not definitely commit to purchase in their first inquiry will have their questions answered but may lose the sale if another buyer e-mails after they do and definitely commits to purchase before we can get back to the first inquirer to answer their questions. This happens almost daily and disappoints a lot of people. If you see something you want- state a definite committment to buy it. You will not be disappointed.
