Terms of Sale

Last updated: October 2026

Buying

Checking out holds a blank for you for 20 minutes while you pay through PayPal (PayPal balance or a debit or credit card). If you'd rather, you can ask for a PayPal invoice instead, sent within one business day; if an invoice isn't paid within 7 days we may release the blank back for sale. Buyers with a US address can also pay by check or money order: we hold the blank for 14 days for it to arrive and ship once it clears. Accepted offers and auction wins come with a link to pay within 3 days. Shipping is charged per blank at the rates current at the time of sale.

Bidding

Bids in the featured auction are binding — if you're the high bidder when the auction ends, you're committing to buy at that price. Auctions extend by five minutes when a bid arrives in the final five minutes. We may cancel an auction before it closes if we need to.

Offers

Making an offer doesn't reserve a blank — it stays available to other buyers until an offer is accepted. An accepted offer (including an accepted counter-offer) becomes a binding order at that price.

The wood

Photos are of the exact blank you receive, and grades are assigned honestly per our grading guide. Walnut and maple are natural materials: if a hidden internal flaw is discovered while your blank is being carved, we replace the blank free. Returns are accepted within 15 days of shipping — details.

Mistakes

If a listing contains an obvious error — a misplaced decimal point in a price, the wrong photos — we may cancel the affected order and refund anything paid, rather than honor the error.
