M Mudlen 1985 Old Carolina Decoy Co Chinstrap Penguin Figure Figurine EUC

Description

Well, well, what have we here?
Up for bid is this wonderful resin (?) figure from Old Carolina Decoy Co, representing a Chinstrap Penguin. The base is signed and dated by the artist, M Mudlen 1985. The piece stands about 6-7/8" tall. It comes to you in excellent condition, with light surface wear commensurate with years on display, but no discernible damage. What a charming addition to your Penguin or Decoy curio!
The cold, hard truth, aka shipping & handling terms:
As projected by eBay's shipping calculator, domestic shipping costs on Priority packages reflect USPS counter price--with First Class parcels being a close estimate of actual price within the fluctuating per-ounce rate--plus {{detail_product_description}}.73 in my handling fees.  International bidders will need to contact me for a shipping quote, which will include a 10% handling fee on postal costs.  This handling fee not only contributes toward the obvious selling expenses of bubble wrap, boxes, printer ink, and tape, but more significantly towards the steep selling fees imposed by Ebay on your total invoice (sale price + tax + shipping). Even the sale of a dollar mug will incur me over in fees--the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees.  Without the buffer of a handling fee, I would not be able to afford to stay in business. Thank you for your understanding!
Mix it, match it, throw it in your basket!
I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so if you'd like, please take a look at my other auctions.  A handling fee per item still applies (see explanation above).
Meow!
This item comes from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
