Comments from happy customers who bought many
other of our items from our vast catalog:
In 1959 I purchased an
original home built “Thing” and ran it for several years on the
Willamette River. Years later it got rotten and subsequently
discarded. Now the Son of the man who originally built it from the
magazine plans in his wood shop in Milwaukie, Oregon works with me
and he helped his Dad build it in 1958. We decided to search for the
plans and if we found them; I (an engineer) would upgrade it for two
adults and build it. I bought your disk and building started last
May 25 and it was ready to launch July 20
th
. You are
welcome to use the photos and my “title” as a former white water
guild; River Rat Bob from Oregon. Hope you enjoy the pictures
attached. I am 60 years old but still chasing the dream as you see
from my smile in the boat.
Thank you for the great plans. 
Unbelievable amount of information for the money.  I can’t wait to
get started. -Jeff D., New Mexico.
I built the doghouse using
the plans I purchased from you a week ago, and it was great.  Easy
to read and follow, it was a great purchase.  The kids helped, and
the dog just loves it.  Thank you so much. It’ll take years to go
through all the stuff I want to build on your CD.  Andrew H., Colorado.
The jungle gym for the
kids is amazing.  We bought the plans 2 weeks ago, and built the
whole thing last weekend. We are so impressed with the amount of
information shown.  It is a virtual encyclopedia of plans.  Thanks. 
Josh L., New Mexico.
My God!!  That’s more
boats than I can build in a lifetime!  Unbelievable! The best I
have ever seen.  Thank you! Craig J., South Carolina.
I’ve seen plenty of plans
on boats.  This is the best all around package of information I’ve
come across.  Jake M., Florida.
This has saved me so much
time.  I’ve spent weeks looking for stuff like this.  Well
worth the few bucks to get this CD.  Jimmy K., Arkansas.
I bought a CD a few weeks
ago that had a bunch of links and junk on it that was ripped off from
websites and other useless information.  I thought long and hard
before trying again and buying from you. I can actually use this stuff. 
I’m so glad I did.  A.K., Arizona.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I buy from you?  There are lots of places to buy
similar stuff on ebay.  What makes you so special?
What separates us from the
rest is that we want you to be happy.  If you’re happy, you’ll buy
from us again and tell your friends.  Getting one sale from you is
great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. 
It isn’t worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer.  If
you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem.  How
many sellers will say that?
Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay.  Are you saying the
rest of them will rip me off?
No, of course not. 
But, beware of what people sell on ebay.  Many sellers on here will
charge you an exorbitant amount for shipping.  Many will
“claim” to provide discount shipping only when you contact them,
they’ll tell you they’ll take a quarter off the shipping price for
each additional item.  We never do that.  Our shipping
policy is very straight forward.  All of our items ship free to
the USA, simple as that, so there’s nothing for you to worry about
regarding combined shipping!  You’ll see that we not only offer more content per
package then our competition,
but also at the cheapest price too.
I want to see a sample
before I commit to buying.  Please send me a free sample.
We are sorry that our
description, as well as our strong ebay reputation, does not provide
you with a strong enough comfort level to purchase from us. 
With that said, we do not provide “free samples”.
What if my disk arrives
damaged?
We offer a no muss, no
fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge.
FAST SHIPPING!!
All discs are mailed out within 1-2 business days
guaranteed!!!
—————————-
Have you bought plans on CD’s on ebay before only
to be disappointed? Did you buy a CD only to find a bunch of useless
links on it?  Did you buy a disc and when it arrives it doesn’t
work and you can’t contact the seller?
Well, with us, your satisfaction is
GUARANTEED
!
All of our discs are tested before shipping to
ensure customer satisfaction.  In VERY RARE cases does a disc get
damaged and rendered unreadable in shipment.  If our disc shows up
and it won’t read on your DVD or CD Drive, let us know, an we’ll replace
it.  If you are unsatisfied in any way, let us know, we want you to
be happy.
In some cases,
customers bought DVD ROM discs and tried to play them on their CD ROM. 
In those cases, it is not our responsibility for your hardware
compatibility issues.  ALL of our DVD’s are clearly marked as DVD’s
in the auction listing.

Shipping and Payment information
Pay through PayPal using:
We accept PayPal as our only form of
payment.  We do not accept any other form of payment.
All items will be shipped within
1
business day
to your
PayPal address
. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address.
All items are shipped by USPS first class mail.  In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers.  
All of our disks are labeled with a clean text only label. 
The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates
into lower cost for you.  The disk labels do not contain
fancy artwork.  We focus our efforts on the quality of the
material on the disk.  We do not believe in charging you an
extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw
in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item.
USA CUSTOMERS
:  Most times, your package will arrive in about
5 days
after we ship them
depending on where you are at. 
However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very
cooperative with us and we’ve had a couple of customers wait a few
days longer than that.  Please understand
that we cannot control the Post Office, so we can’t guarantee a
delivery time.  If the item does not arrive by the last
promised ship date in ebay, please email us and let us know, and we
will make it right.  The
only unhappy customers we have are those that don’t bother to contact
us and don’t give us a chance to fix the problem for them.
NON-USA CUSTOMERS
:  Same deal above,  except your
packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship
them.  We’ve noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been
waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments.  The only
explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some
container in some dock waiting on customs clearance.  It happens,
and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very
little we can do about that.  Your disk will arrive or we will replace
it.
Multiple items purchased by the same
customer may or may not be shipped in the same package,
at our
discretion
.  We do not offer any additional discounts on
multiple items other than the ones noted above
.
Every effort has been made to accurately describe
the contents of this collection.  On very very rare occasions,
typographical errors may occur and we may make an innocent mistake.  These items
are described to the very best of our abilities, and in as much
detail as possible.
Feedback Policy:
Please offer us a chance
to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any
reason by emailing us first with your problem.  The only thing
we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they
give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad
feedback.  If negative feedback is left without any prior
communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in
communicating and working things out.
We verify all disks prior
to shipment to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.
If you have any questions
prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us
know.  Thank you!!!!!!
