ianoid Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Sadly I was just sent one by USPS from a friend. Despite being well packaged, it had minor damage inflicted on it. I need some kind of proof of it's value in order to file a claim with the USPS. An ended auction, a price list, a website that has one for sale, any proof you have of what you spent would be fantastic. I'm kinda of hoping to get $200 from the USPS for it, but it will be hard. It sucks coz the one I was send had a mint looking plastic sheild and was just in fantastic shape. Now it has stress on the shelf part inside, is slightly pulled apart and has a crack in the shield- fortunately small and on the top, but still- it hurts it's value quite alot for me. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are actually quite valuable, I've seen mint ones go for >$500.00 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hey Ian, Sorry to hear about that! One that I got a couple of years ago, also got damaged during shipping, though I didn't notice it at first. It has a crack in the wood, somewhere on the inside. The damage to your unit sounds much worse. I got another one in a recent auction on eBay. It ended a bit low, if you ask me. Here's the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...egory=1250&rd=1 Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianoid Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Marco, I just emailed you about this- I should have checked the thread first! Sorry. Thanks so much for the links. These will likely be the best I can do, since it's not listed as having a dollar amount in DP or elsewhere. Hopefully I can recoup the insurance amount. It can't make up for the loss of a near mint one of these! I suspect it was shipped to dealers as a kit- it is made of pegs and such. I hope someone finds a new in box (Kit) one some day. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
