I thought you'd backfired with an abrams to his doorstep... knock knock, who's there?
Like the time I got a cpu that was just dropped in an ordinary envelope. All pins bent, and cpu dead. Didn't get a refund... |

| I bought a brand new Intel Education Kit a few years back that was the only one in good shape I had ever seen and the seller took a single strip of heavy duty packing tape and wrapped it all the way around the box. I was able to get about 50% off ok but the rest just ruined the new look. So sad. |

A few years ago I purchased a goldcap P66 with "processor" markings.
The seller put the tape over the goldcap to fix the CPU in the tray!  |

| When things like that happen, you should demand a refund as especially if it was sold as a collectable, the value is seriously reduced. |

Some guys are over the top in the stupidity curve. |

my best one was a seller i bought 2 P4 xeons off, put them in a tobacco tin with no packing inside.
So the tin rattled all the way from Israel to Oz. When the postie handed the parcel to me.. my heart sank

Yeah, I know that feeling. 'Here's you parcel' (rattle rattle). What used to be PGA is now PGMA.
