Poll: Who thinks I should smack this guy around and who thinks I should be happy since it was cheap?
Well, I don't think you should smack the guy around, but I don't think that you got a fair shake for the auction either.
For $20 I think a little more care should have been given in packaging these items.
Reminds me of the Amiga 4000 I bought off Ebay. I figured for the price, I was getting a pretty decent deal. (Somewhere in the $600 range. Included a Cyberstorm PPC card, Cybervision PPC, two 18gig scsi drives, a dat drive, jazz drive.)
Know what the majority item used to pack it in was? Newspaper, which wouldn't have helped much just going across the States, but this was coming from Europe. One of the harddrives was doa, the cybervision had some of the smt resistors knocked off it. (Not to mention not everything got shipped.)
I wound up just not leaving feedback at all. (One party leaves negative feedback and honesty goes out the window on the other side.)
