Gloves | 11,892 Administrator · Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I don't see the issue, it's a box. You ship game consoles in boxes! I'm sure the console inside is fine! 1 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,376 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Don’t know what I’m impressed more: - the stupidity/laziness of the seller? or - the box managed to survive and looking half decent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuNKeY | 241 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 domarse ...anywoo, I remember years ago when I bought a Neo Geo AES and the guy shipped it in it's original box, from what I remember the box was pretty sturdy and came from NC but I rather it had been at least wrapped up or something. Yet nothing beats getting NES games shipped inside a bisquick box (I still wish I kept those pics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option 3 All of the above. Unless there's still something special about it, demand a refund and return. That guy needs to be punished. Good luck that clown sells it for the value he got out of you again. He'll learn really quick console boxes are NOT shipping boxes when that thing loses like what 1/2 the value? I posted it in the Neo Geo thread, but I had the same issue, but mine was not intentional but a happy accident born of stupidity. I thought I was getting a loose 8MAN MVS (+marquee maybe at best due to a crappy image.) Moron sent the entire kit in its original kit box with just a single wrap of butcher paper around it, and by some miracle of non-USPS buffoonary it actually showed up entirely intact. I would have been devastated if that was torn asunder or smashed even if it wasn't expected just because of the low quantity of such good should be cared for, just like that Duo box. What a putz.

And we have a winner. That really is the truth. We have this group here, and there is a larger group way out there who care about such things, but even in that pool of caring, most are not collectors, they're looking to make a buck and don't get the reasons entirely why something has value. Paper, cardboard? Pfft, it must be what's inside, so what's better to ship it in than what it shipped in right? Wrong! The classic old line of assumption is the mother of all f'ups is about right in this case. Or the other is that if you assume, u make an ass out of me.

It's funny because he advertised the Duo as more valuable because the box/console had matching serial ##'s, but then decides to ruin the box with extremely adhesive packing tape? Soooooo like no matter how you look at this he fked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,958 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That or *sniff* a few grams at a time. Whatever the case, that really was inexcusable. I will not go into the ground level of common sense, but how often when someone buys something online do major companies ship the item with the packing box you see at retail with stickers, or they jam it with paper, peanuts, or something in a bit bigger? They know all well new items ship on pallets and size depending boxes inside larger boxes to take the hits. Item boxes are really display boxes, they're meant to be eye appealing so they're not tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
