He has crossed the Atlantic in a small boat, fought in World War II in southeast Asia, climbed in the Himalayas, canoed the great rivers of South America, and traveled the islands of the Pacific. 

 

In ‘The Voyage of the Sierra Sagrada’ he recounts the story of what is probably his greatest adventure to date: a voyage that took him from South America to West Africa, via the Great Lakes of the Midwest –“just to fly a balloon back to the United States.

 

On his most recent trip to South America – undertaken largely to secure bats and bat droppings for research purposes – Frank Brenton bought two native canoes for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.  Then he was face with job of transporting then to Chicago, a problem he solved by sailing them across the gulf of Mexico (and through a hurricane and up the Mississippi...

                    ***********************************************************

Please bid with confidence - we check all items for faults and try to describe and photograph to the best of our ability, so please read carefully and if you would like further information, or additional pictures, please do not hesitate to email

Please email us if you have any requests regarding deliveries, delay in payment, etc. prior to bidding.  We are more than happy to accommodate any reasonable request.

 

BIDDERS PAYMENT

Direct Debit from Australian banks, personal cheques from Australian banks or money orders from Australia Post and PayPal are payment means for bidders. 

If paying by direct debit from your own internet banking (Australian Banks only), which is easy and quick, please do not forget to add a reference.  This reference can be your name, your Ebay name, the item, or the item number.  This is very important as it enables a match of the payment against the item.

If paying by direct debit, via the Bank (Australian Banks only) and not through your own internet banking, could you please email me with the branch and deposit details as banks do not allow the Ebay information on the deposit, - makes it easier for me to ensure the correct item is posted.

If paying by personal cheque (from Australian Banks only) - item will not be posted until cheque clears.

If paying by Paypal, payment must be in Australian dollars only, goods posted when payment reaches my bank as Australia Post does not accept Paypal, takes upto 5 days to clear from Paypal to the bank.

 

PICK UP

 

Pick up is available, as is meeting you, or delivery if convenient to where I am when I go to Adelaide, usually at least once a week and is postage free.

 

POSTAGE

 

Postage is extra and at Australia Post cost and we use recycled packaging when ever we can to save on costs.

 

 We will sent an Ebay account within 36 hours of closure after the piece is packaged. 

 

 We are happy to combine items to save on postage, so check out our other items, you may find something else you like and please, if purchasing more than one item, please wait for the invoice before paying as combined postage works out differently than calculated by the Ebay postage calculator.

 

 Please wait for this invoice to be emailed, or "request total from seller" if you prefer.

 

 All items are very carefully packed and every care is taken to ensure items arrive in a safe condition

 

 POSTAL REGISTRATION

We do however suggest registering the item especially for items over AU$50 including post, as we are not responsible, or liable for any damage during transit and unfortunately however careful we may be, Australia Post is not. 

 

For Australian bidders  Postal registration is extra for items posted to Australia and the basic rate includes upto $100 insurance for loss, or damage and apparently Australia Post takes better care of registered items.  For items over $100 the cost is slightly higher.  Price is not given as Australia Post increases this amount every six months and it quickly gets out of date, but is charged at current Australia Post charges.

 

All unregistered postage is at buyers own risk and is non refundable.

Refunds apply only if an item has been grossly misrepresented.

Please make contact within 3 days, payment is required within 5 days of end of auction, unless prior arrangements have been made.  Goods are posted when payment received on that, or the next day.

 

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Due to a spate of unpaid items recently, the following now applies:

An Ebay invoice will be forwarded within 36 hours of close of bidding to the successful bidder.

If no payment, or correspondence is received within 7 days a a copy invoice will be forwarded.

If after three days no communication, or payment has been received an email will be forwarded asking for a response.

After this and if no communication, or payment has been received another email will be forwarded stating that if no communication, or payment is received within three days, a unpaid bid will be registered with Ebay and negative feedback will be posted.

I apologise to all the lovely people out there that do the right thing and communicate and pay quickly, these conditions are not for them, but for the others who unfortunately do not.

Please remember that I am more than happy to negotiate on payment delays providing communication is received, preferably as a request prior to bidding on an article.
