I'm curious what everyone else' worst Ebay stories are. In the last three weeks I have received a cabinet that was described as having light water damage that actually had water damage on the UNDERSIDE of the control panel, as well as the rest of the cabinet. I received a monitor chassis that got shipped with the seller's new bank card in the box(which was just mildly amusing).

But, TODAY.. today was the best. I got a PCB put inside a garbage bag, inside a box of packing peanuts. And mixed in with the packing peanuts....razor blade!

No more Ebay. I'll buy from you guys from now on. Anybody have a lot of sticks and buttons to sell? I've control panels to populate.


EDIT: Oh, and to the guy that had the PCS2 boards. I didn't mean to flake on you, I accidentally erased my PMs and wasn't sure which thread was yours. Still want the boards, if you still have them.

Razor Blade!! OUCH!!! I'm going to start opening my packages very slowly from now on.
 
Bought an Ipod that turned out to be a fake made in China a couple of years ago. Other than that nothing major and I use ebay all the time.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I just had two most awesome eBay experiences. It may be that I bought from LeeB99. I scored a Robotron ROM board and it came packed to withstand a nuclear blast.
