Well that's a bummer! I had the exact same thing happen to me when I purchased an A1010 off ebay. The shipper tossed it in a box with naught but a crumpled up ball of newspaper to protect it. Fortunately they refunded me half the cost, and I'd gotten a deal in the first place... think I only wound up paying about $5, so no big deal. Also I was able to repair it with a gob-load of superglue. Still, I hear ya on these irreplaceable items getting damaged by careless shippers! :whack:
Side comment - what's up with all these political comments in the hardware forums? Save it for the coffee house! :p
