Condition Report
Deep Chocolate/Burgundy Tone!!! Auction consists of a Single "Matched Set of "3" Efebino Stools. Auction Price is for the set of 3. Long Retired Design, late 1960's to early 1970's Editions in ABS Plastic (which Artemide no longer manufactures). Considering their age, composition, and that they were used solely by children, this set appears to be in very good condition!!! Structurally perfect and free from stress cracks, the 4 Stools are in a very unique glossy deep chocolate finish with a wonderfully playful reddish/burgundy undertone. Chairs are not exactly free from "plastic swirls" from cleaning, but they are pretty nice. Only 1 chair has a break at the bottom leg, and I have photographed it (in photo 11), the crack is not extending nor fractured upwards at all, so however it is now is how it will remain. These stools are INCREASINGLY RARE today in the 2nd Hand world (in any condition), as most have succumbed to extended use over time and have long since been discarded. This set can be used perfectly well just as is, and if you would really like to take care of them, they could be repainted or even foil chromed by specialty polymeric studios. I strongly feel that if this amazing design was re-introduced today, it would take off with just as much positive controversy as ever! Either way, this set is sure to make some lucky bidder (and their children), VERY HAPPY!!!!!!!! PS, just "1" Stool sold at a prestigious German Auction House back in 2007 (Quittenbaum Kunstauktionen GmbH), and achieved a Hammer-Price of €312 (That's 7.53, plus 21% Buyer's Premium, Sales Tax, and Shipping/Handling)!!! Are you beginning to get the picture!?!?!?! :-)

If you wish to contact me with a shipping question…
YOU MUST PROVIDE
the following
ACCURATELY
:
(Or else I “will-not” be able to provide you an accurate freight quote).
1. FULL NAME /// 2. STREET ADDRESS /// 3. CITY /// 4. STATE /// 5. ZIPCODE
*Commercial or Residential (with or without Loading Dock)???
*Ground Floor or Other (with Elevator, or Steps to Walk-up)???
*Long or Short Haul ( < or > 150’ from unloading point)???
*Pick-Ups*
If you are local, feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment for viewing. You are free to coordinate your own couriers for pickup, provided payment is accepted and processed prior to pickup date. All Small-Sized Units (chairs, single cabinets, lounge chairs) can be moved throughout Manhattan and the 5 Burroughs simply and cost effectively, in a NYC Mini-Van Taxi Cab. Items can be picked up Free-of-Charge, less any handling fees, in Downtown SOHO, New York, NY 10013. Building features: 24/7/365 Access (9AM to 7PM preferred), Freight Elevator, Docks, Ramping, Carts, and Onsite Parking for Loading/Unloading. Medium-Sized Units typically require Pickup in any rental U-Haul / Enterprise / Avis / etc, 12’ Standard Cargo-Van or Box-Truck.
*Deliveries*
All Small & Medium Sized Deliveries will ship twice weekly: Domestically via DHL or UPS (Standard Ground/Insured), Internationally via USPS (Airmail/Insured). Additional Premium-Services can be Specified & Paid for, at buyer’s request. All Units exceeding either Size and or Weight restrictions of DHL, UPS, USPS, will ship via Commercial Freight Lines. Deliveries of units in the Tri-State-Metro Area are made approximately once weekly by seller, scheduled within 10 days of received auction payment, for fees of between .00 and 0.00 (respectively, depending upon size and quantity of units being delivered). All Large-Sized Items outside the Tri-State Metro Area are only shipped via Commercial Freight Carriers. You are free to obtain your own quotes, however since 9/11/2001, the shipping industry has changed dramatically. You’ll now be “hard-pressed” to find shipping companies that are willing to, Accept and Insure Used or Vintage-Used furniture items, which are not “brand-new sealed in original packaging being sold by the manufacturer.” And if you do find a shipper who will accept this, they typically will not pickup from a storage location, rather only from a “bona fide” incorporated commercial-storefront (and these companies usually will not feature packaging/crating services). I’m suggesting
www.PLYCONvanlines.com
and
www.CratersAndFreighters.com
as some of the only National “White-Glove” exceptions to the listed acceptable criteria. Alternatively, I work with a small select group of national shippers, whom frequent most metropolitan cities. My freight quotes and deliveries will take longer to obtain, but will cost you “significantly less.” The choice is yours.
*INTERNATIONAL Freight Deliveries*
All Large-Sized Furniture Items being shipped outside the USA, “MUST BE” Coordinated by Buyer, utilizing a Customs Broker. Custom Pallets, Packaging, and Crating Services must be utilized for these deliveries, of which I “cannot” provide. These units must be insured, and there are no returns on these items.
*Terms & Conditions of Sale*
All of my items being auctioned on eBay are featured in storefront and marketed simultaneously for sale through the design trade and several industry specific avenues. In some cases, an item is sold prior to the close of its auction, not through eBay and in accordance, as not to circumvent the selling policies of eBay. When this occurs, all active bidding will be canceled, and the auction will be ended and closed early, under the grounds “this item is no longer available for sale.” A rare occurrence sometimes develops within the final 12 hours of an auction’s end, where ending the auction is not always possible. This is due to the frequent and common use of BidSnipers and other BidSniping Programs, which enter bids in the last few seconds of an auction. There simply isn’t enough time to effectively cancel these bids, and close the auction. In this rare and seldom event, the sale of the item through an auction win, must be considered null and void.
*Payments*
For the successful win of an auction, all payments must be made within 7 days of auction’s close, prior to filing of unpaid item alert and winning becoming null and void. My preference for payment is Bank EFT or “Certified” Bank Check, due to online transaction fees. Thank You.
Thank You For Taking The Time To View My Auction!!!
Please Take A Look At My Others for more Great Finds!!!
HAPPY BIDDING on these FANTASTIC & RARE ITEMS!!!
