THE OFFICIAL EBAY CRAZINESS THREAD


Recommended Posts

Is it wrong to leave feedback that says "Learn how to pack a record?"

I would. I got this beauty in the mail today. Lower left corner bent to shit.

Had this exact shit happen to me when I ordered a kyuss record that was titled "mint condition never played." Yeah lets just say when it arrived it wasnt mint. Long story short I filed a complaint on ebay and got all my money back...and later I got that record signed by all of kyuss.

Those boxes are shitty, and I'd be even more pissed if someone sent me a record in one.

Double/triple layers + inserts can be equivalent, if not better, to a standard LP mailer.

Post Office gives out boxes for free. Extremely easy to make your own box/inserts if need be. No excuse to wait 17 days.

I'd be pissed...

If caught you will be charged priority shipping.

Didn't know that, but nothing some wrapping paper can't easily fix.

i used inside out fedex priority mailers with cardboard inserts to mail 7"s forever... they work great and are free!

^^^ I just use a box from Work or go to wendys or something and grab some. They will be stoked that they wont have to break them down. I only use them for inserts but I've used them for mailers once or twice.

Recently, a board member mailed myself and atleast one other person our records wrapped in bubble wrap which was then wrapped in brown paper. By the time I got to it, it had been sitting in the rain for several hours and the paper fell away like wet tissue. Luckily the bubble wrap protected the records but not enough to where they escaped without one and a half inch bends on the lower right hand sides of the sleeves and five inch wide seam splits on every inner sleeve. Compared to that, I dare say I'd take any of the shitty box solutions presented above. Neither I approve of, but better of two evils I guess...

Jesus H Christ!!!! I would love to own a Love Buzz test. If I were rich, I would pay whatever necessary to acquire these.

I don't listen to NOFX but I know of their rabid fan base and I'm very surprised this went for so cheap.

Please help me by reporting this buyer for shill bidding (using another account to boost bids). Here are three listings please look at bidder b***b. He also changed his user ID recently. Report this idea for listing practices > fraudulent listing > using other accounts. He also thinks shipping 4 records costs 14.99.

Went ahead and reported this person. Hopefully something is done since multiple people are reporting him but who knows with eBay.

Thats shitty, i always thought they were good about catching stuff like that. Never reported anyone before but just did those.

Seems like eBay gets worse and worse about not giving a damn as long as they get their money. Shill bidding is one thing they actually do take action on.......usually.

I'm not a Beatles collector.. but this is ridiculous. best part is the 42 declined offers and the fact its been up for the entire year.
