hex65000 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wow. Just Wow. Hopefully you've already contacted him and explicitly said to put the atari box in another box. It's sad, but you almost have to assume that the guy is a total idiot. If it arrives as expected, that's a great score! Hex.

[ Needs a break from computers and will now go play with some toys... ] I all ready received It I did tell the seller to pack it good. The box was important to me. Guess what? They just wrapped it in brown paper. I was very lucky it arrived unharmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Neg! Neg! Neg! Or else it was also the Seller who was very lucky it arrived unharmed! Good thing you said something, or he would have just taped the shipping label to the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Neg! Neg! Neg! I agree. I explicitly told someone to pack it good because the value o the box was worth it. They brown papered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beard Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Neg! Neg! Neg! Then what kind of feedback would you leave if it had arrived damaged? In my view, this warrants a neutral, not a neg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a small dilemma. Positive=happy Neutral=meh Negative=unhappy He sounded unhappy to me. Still, he didn't say whether he offered to pay extra, to cover the outer box and/or extra weight, and it did arrive unharmed... And besides, he got a deal. But it arrived undamaged no thanks to the seller, it could've been smashed or with holes for all he did, so it should be up to luck whether he winds up with a neut or a neg?

horseboy Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 That crap drives me up the wall. With anything you sell on Ebay, it is pretty much standard procedure to put it in a box when you ship it so it arrives undamaged. I do not understand why people think that items like this should be any different. Most of the time people are only bidding due to the fact that the box is included. I got brown papered on a nice NES Action set shipping from Canada. Needless to say, it is no longer nice. At least the dude refunded me half of my money. Anyhow, I would give him a neutral with a buyer beware in the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
