I have New Annin and Valley Forge flags available in my eBay store.
Condition -
my photos are actual items that will be shipped to you
I work hard to get good pictures of each item for your best details
I do my best on all descriptions, so you have no questions and know what you are receiving.
Batteries -
I apologize don't normally ship with batteries most devices will not have the batteries in them (unless I get it with good batteries already installed. It is just not cost effective with both shipping and returns missing the batteries. Items that require power I have checked for function and if it does not work I will say so. I check battery compartments and will state if it is not clean in working order.
Guarantees -
I offer 30 day free returns and 60 days on some items with few exceptions mainly international (these fees are out of my control so just not practical). Any problems or issues in shipping or damage I work with the individuals to correct the problem.
If there is a problem do not hesitate to let me know.  Sometimes packages are delayed though the shipping company and I may not yet be aware of the problem.
Use of Items / safety -
Not responsible for use or misuse of products sold, I am not the manufacture. Most items I sell are used. Flags are mostly new from the manufacture and if you have problems I may be able to help you with those. Bottom line I am not responsible for your mistakes giving items to children or individuals that should not have access to it.
Returns
I follow eBay rules and stay within their platform for all returns.
I ask customers return items in original condition sent to them. I also request please only ask for returns when truly needed as this cost me and I am a small struggling business.
returns are processed same or next day of arrival/request whenever possible
International -
I use eBay's international shipping the cost is invisible to me please do not ask me about international shipping fees only eBay can help you with this. If you want an Item that is not allowed in your location than do not buy it. I try to stay within all international rules but can't keep up with all of them so you may find many Items not available international and that is why.
I do my best to reduce cost for my customers
I use used boxes and mailers when possible
and try to keep weight down to reduce mailing cost. Please keep in mind I have to drive to the shipping location when boxes are larger.
I am dedicated to preserving the environment, reducing the waste as much as possible. This is one of the reasons for using used boxes and bubble mailers. Please do the same and reuse my packaging whenever possible.
