I bought this CPU and then sent it back, and now the seller has posted it for sale

http://www.ebay.com/itm/V7-intel-Pentium-III-Processor-933-MHz-Flip-Chip-PGA-BX80526C933256E-New-Sealed-/261542198029?pt=CPUs&hash=item3ce5213b0d

any guesses as to why I sent it back?

"Except a Packing List Enclosure was Applied to the Front of the Plastic Wrap,
and a Shipping Label Taped to the Back (as the pictures show). " ?

LOL

If I buy anything in the original box (new or used) I always make sure to ask the seller to make sure the box will arrive in the condition shown in the listing.

The very first lot I bought on ebay (Winchip upgrade in box)
was shipped in the same way.
But I was so happy I didn't mind =)

I had a 486DX4-100 Overdrive sent to me from USA and it arrived like that. Amazingly, it was still in good condition and I was able to peel off the label without much difficulty.
