I thought I'd add my experience to this thread.
I bought 2 monitors from the guy.
He explained at great length how well he would pack them (even though in the thread he said "as I am paying UPS to pack this").
Well, they were poorly packed and both tubes were destroyed. See pics.
He took 2 cardboard boxes and taped them together, packed with wadded up paper, and a couple of small sticks for some reason (you can see them in the last pic). They were
probably destroyed before they left his city.
The monitors were also all VGA, not CGA as advertised.
After much aggravation with paypal, I received a full refund today. He couldn't get the money out of paypal himself to refund me, and didn't have the funds in his bank account (and had several failed attempts to refund via his bank account), so paypal advised him to ask me to open a claim, which I did...so paypal could access the "on hold" funds to refund to me. Over 1 month later, and I have a refund.
I'm still looking at a fee to dispose of the tubes.
I saved the 2 chassis, which appear OK, as they were protected. They are VGA, not CGA, as advertised, but still NOS and nice looking. I'll post up a for sale ad for these (cheap) if anyone wants them, I don't know if there's much interest there. I have the chassis and yokes.
