TIPS FOR BUYERS WHEN READING SELLERS ADS - BOTTOM LINE - READ ADS VERY CAREFULLY:

1. If you want Sealed product, make sure the ad states the product being sold states Sealed, if it doesn't, the product may NOT and probably is NOT sealed.  Ads that are vague are generally vague for a reason, such as New isn't always Sealed - Sealed can be a box or jewel case.  When Hoots Loot says a product is Sealed it is either Sealed in a jewel case or Sealed in a retail box and the ad will tell you whether the item is a Sealed Jewel or Sealed Box.

2. Sellers love to use pictures, but you also need to read the text.  A pretty picture does NOT mean you will receive the item with front and back art work or in a retail box or even in a jewel case.  Again, if the ad is vague about what is being sold, there is generally a reason.  Avoid being surprised with a cd only in a white paper sleeve.  Hoots Loot uses pictures in all our ads, however, when we are selling a CD Rom only product, the ad will very clearly state that.  When we sell a Sealed product it will say Sealed.

3.  Read the fine print of the ad to determine whether the product is new or used.  Some sellers will be a little vague on that issue also.  You will not have that problem with any Hoots Loot item as we only sell new software.

4.  What method of shipping will your order be sent and what are you paying for that type of service?  Most sellers will list a shipping price (although not all), but the question becomes, how fast will I get my order versus the price paid for shipping?  Media mail is dead slow - 1st Class is pretty fast - Priority Mail is very fast.  If a seller lists a price, but doesn't tell you how he will ship your order, again, there is probably a reason  You should ask before you bid if there is any question (but if you think about it, why would a seller not list the method of shipping?).  At Hoots-Loot you will NOT have that problem.  All our shipments are either 1st class or priority mail.  We NEVER ship media mail.

5.  If you want to buy several items and have them shipped together, be sure the seller you are considering offers a shipping discount on multiple items.  Not all sellers discount multiple items shipped together.  At Hoots-Loot we offer a discount on any multiple item order when the buyer finishes all bids and sends one payment for everything.

6.  Bottom line........read ads very carefully.  Be An Informed Buyer and If You Have Questions On Any Sellers Ad - Ask Before You Bid.
