Hi there resident experts
I purchased a MISB vinatge Bi Logo INT 4 that arrived today on ebay.
On inspection of the item I noted when I turned the box of the INT 4 a rattling sound which meant there were loose parts that were not secure. I assumed that if this was a MISB the inserts would hold all parts tight and you would noy hear parts moving about. I alsonoted the tape that sealed the item looked very new, I woild have expected the tape to be somewhat yellowish given the age of the item. I also noted th etexture of the box itself felt almost grainy which Im not sure iscorrect.
When I contacted the seller with the above observations I was informed as follows:
"the reason it looks so clean is it was pulled from a shipping box directly….it's still sealed and totally awesome. In terms of the rattling, I believe that's normal for that type of Int-4…..there were many shipping boxes with these filled in them so it's not that uncommon to find them in great shape. I have a couple at AFA for grading right now."
Does this sound right ? Apprecaite any feedack you may have on the above and if indeed for this rattling soundis normal for this particular model?
