Through a convoluted arrangement, I once got three rare-ish Pentium "Overdrive" CPUs mailed my way.
I only wanted one, but the sender, a professional(!) component sourcer insisted on sending three to improve my chances of getting a "good one."
Well... three massive ceramic chips (remember, the Overdrives had the big integrated heatsink) in one plastic box (there might've been a token piece of foam, but nothing enough to prevent lateral movement), and there was only one good one left by the time the package arrived.
I don't think the guy is in business anymore.
