Well, here's a good story to try and lighten the thread up a bit.
KinHell, of this forum, has an ad on Amibench with lots of A4000-related goodies for sale.
I bought his mint condition A4000 motherboard, and it arrived in a tailor-made box. And when he described it as "mint", I haven't seen a better usage of word; it really, actually is >mint<.
The board itself was wrapped, first in a static bag, then in a bubble sleeve. Then it was packed in those polystyrene packing peanuts. The box was padded with an inch of foam all around. Then the box was taped up, and he'd even put "slice here" in various places to show me where t open it!
Finally he (very, very neatly) wrapped the box in brown paper.
Totally flawless, and very nice guy to exchange emails with; I'd love to do business with him again.
Thanks, Charlie! :-D
