Now Let me Clarify a few things,,,EBAY requires me to List these STICKs as Packaged as either,,''NEW'' --- "OPEN BOX" --- or "USED",,,So I have Listed them here as BRAND-NEW,,, / "OPEN-BOX" (NOS),,, as Shown,,, as photographed from my own PERSONAL Retail Music Store inventory.They are ''NOT'' used,,, I have NEVER SOLD THESE,,, I have NEVER Let anyone play with them,,, ANY marks on the sticks are from the manufacturing process,,, because they are just Like they came from the Factory,,, in the Cellophane Brick package,,, which "I" opened in order to sell pair-by-pair. I am the owner of the store, SO I KNOW THIS To be Fact !!! IT is a grade "A" stock,,, (not 'b' stock) ??? ZILDJIAN to "MY" knowledge does "NOT" offer a "B" stock Stick ???However "IF" a stick is NOT 100% round,,, when you roll it across a hard surface it shows a warp and/or bow,,, this is NOT considered a defect because these sticks can be played with either end. And them being new-old-stock from display may have contributed to the SELECT HICKORY settling in my Retail Music Stores Display and Climate Environment ??? That is the AS-IS statement in this Listing.IT is a real factory brand built STICK,,, THE ZILDJIAN COMPANY. Not an "OFF" BRAND,,, Not an UNBRANDED ITEM.THEY are BRAND-NEW,,, never sold,,, never played with,,, never rented,,, never Loaned out as a Demo.ANY grain Lines you see in the HICKORY is from the tree before Lathe-Turning.This is "NOT" a defect,,, IT is how Pro-Mark manufactured the stick,,, AND you are accepting them AS-IS. ***I personally inside my own FULL-LINE Retail Music Store here in North Carolina have sold these " ZILDJIAN " brand model Drumsticks as a FULLY Authorized Music Store Dealer for years !!!

THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE OF YOUR COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING TO THESE RULES AND CONDITIONS !!! We "MIGHT" also be showing you what the USPS 1st Class USA mailing & HANDLING with the USPS tracking number,,, on our PACKAGE will cost and the AIR BUBBLE-LINED ENVELOPE, we are using as our mailing packaging. DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER BOXES FOR HEAVIER ITEMS OF PRIORITY OR FEDEX SHIPMENTS. WE also reserve the right to exchange "MAILING" boxes based on your regional ZIP-CODE postal service address,,, this will NOT effect the end postage prices, or weight of shipping costs,,, IT merely changes the actual SIZE of the box I choose IF a different BOX is needed for better security during transit .Because we know that you know there is NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING,,, we show you the actual cost,,, what you are paying for and how we arrived at it by the NEW 2020 USPS postage rates and/or FEDEX's rates for ground home delivery and their package surcharges. Including the postage fee / or shipping fee inside the price of the items and NOT telling you how it will be BOXED and shipped DOESN'T MAKE IT FREE or " SAFE " against DAMAGES ??? I have received many items I purchased on EBAY that were damaged during shipping / transit because of POOR PACKAGING and FREE SHIPPING. I '' DO NOT '' ship anything that is " NOT " over-packed and well stuff for its protection during transit. I am OCD when it comes to packaging up your items !!! L@@K at some of my feedback where folks state how well MY PACKAGES are packed !!! Someone has to pay the POSTAGE fee,,, the government does not actual ship these things for Free and for the packaging products we use,,, these items or things are NOT actually supplied for free to us,,, LOL,,, just some of the boxes. *** AND with us you know exactly what you are getting for your prices paid,,, and NOT having to assume what you are getting for FREE.MOST of the time I actually show you a photograph of the envelope or box I am using for mailing or shipping. I have been told others are NOT as good as we do ??? SOME PACKAGES ARE LOST AND/OR DAMAGED DUE TO POOR PACKING,,, Regular type cheap envelopes with just a stamp and NO TRACKING NUMBERS,,, AND/OR " NOT " INSURED IF THE ITEMS VALUE IS LOW,,, Look at our feedback and see I have been an E-bay member since 2001. SEE WHAT OTHER EBAY BUYERS ARE SAYING IN MY FEEDBACK REVIEW ABOUT MY PACKAGING,, HANDLING AND SHIPPING OF THEIR ITEMS. WE explain and show you what you are getting and how much it costs !!! UPS was "NOT" an option,,, much higher shipping costs. ***ALSO NO DELIVERY AVAILABLE TO GUAM and/or the VIRGIN ISLANDS at this time. I am an OLD MAN with the tremors & shakes and thick tri-focals I reserve the right to make errors,,, TYPO's,,, "BUT" PLEASE before hanging me out to dry,,, PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE email or message me thru this Listing about your questions or concerns before buying or bidding. BECAUSE once you have made a commitment to purchase,,, eBay themselves will "NOT" let the advertisement be changed,,, altered or amended. IT IS THEN A DONE DEAL !!! Thank-you for LOOKING at all of our CLOSEOUT MUSICAL MERCHANDISE IN OTHER E-BAY ADVERTISEMENTS. *** INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING MIGHT BE AVAILABLE THRU THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER AND THEY WILL QUOTE YOU ON WHAT THE ACTUAL MAILING OUTSIDE OF THE USA AND CUSTOM FEES WILL COST YOU TO YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTRY. GUITARS have to pass the CITIES endangered species of wood LAW,,, therefore some guitars might "NOT" be able to ship OUTSIDE of the USA brand-new ??? I DO "NOT" KNOW WHAT THIS WOOD BODY IS MADE OF,,, I DO NOT THINK IT IS ENDANGERED DUE TO THE GUITARS ACTUAL MONEY VALUE.*****I also hereby state to you that I can ''NOT'' and will "NOT" be held responsible for either E-BAY Global shipping center,,, their shipping handlers and/or the customs folks deciding to open and re-package or re-box this item unit for either inspection purposes or their desire to attempt to re-package or re-box it in a smaller package box for their shipping benefits. IF THEY DO THIS,,, THAT IS ''NOT'' MY PROBLEM,,, AS STATED IN E-BAY's GLOBAL SHIPPING TERMS FOR SELLERS,,, MY ACTUAL RESPONSIBLITY ENDS WITH THIS PACKAGE,,, ONCE THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO AND ACCEPTED BY THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER IN KENTUCKY USA.*** "IF" it is held in customs and "NOT " deliverable to you or your country,,, that is "OUT " of MY control and is NOT my responsibility.ONCE THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO,,, SIGNED FOR,,, AND ACCEPTED BY EBAY GLOBAL,,, MY RESPONSIBILITY ENDS.THANK-YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING !!! *** Due to eBay's NEWEST MANAGED PAYMENT PROCESSING,,, Handling and packaging will be based on a 3-day event from the time you make your payment.First Day is to receive your payment,,,2nd Day is for eBay to process and Clear your payment,,,3rd-Day is for me to take your packaged guitar to the next town over from me at the Fayetteville NC Airport road Main FEDEX Shipping Terminal,,, Getting a receipt that I have handed it over to the FEDEX counter personnel,,, Then messaging you with the tracking information and drop-off time including your phone number in the tracking information so you know where it is.A signature will be required for delivery.IF you have managed FEDEX delivery instructions,,, YOU may schedule the delivery and/or pickup for your convenience !!!
