[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 461325, member: 7379"] Well, it certainly looks like the damage occurred in transit to me. What an assholic moron for sending it that way! :evil: I hate to say it, but with so many idiots selling quality stuff (and why is it that the very best pieces are so often sold by utter pea-brains that haven't got the first fecking clue how to package something properly?), these days I always message sellers before their auction ends and ask them exactly how the items will be packaged for sending. I also usually ask a leading question such as, 'Will it for example be sent very well protected by bubble wrap on all sides inside a much larger, very sturdy double-walled cardboard box?' If I don't like their reply, I don't bid! It's not your fault that they sent it so woefully inadequately packaged (basic common sense alone should inform them that what they were doing was completely unacceptable and wrong, but then again, some people are simpletons), but you can at least minimise your chances of it happening to you again by employing the above technique. It also serves as useful proof for eBay if the item does suffer any damage, in the event of the seller not then packaging the item as they say they will. I hope you are able to reach a satisfactory agreement with the seller. Personally I'd demand a full refund and send the bloody thing back to them! [/QUOTE]
