Re: [MOPO] Shattered dreams

[JR]

I think Doug's point was the totally unnecessary loss of irreplaceable and fairly rare glass slides. I mean, the seller knew they were *glass* fer cryin' out loud -- how dumb do you have to be to not pack them in sufficient padding and a cardboard box, but instead just put them in a regular envelope and mail them as if it was a regular letter?   That's tragic stupidity and qualifies as one for the record books, I think. I certainly will never buy anything from "ins3549".   -- JR     ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Ball To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 15:40 Subject: [MOPO] Shattered dreams I usually do not air my dirty laundry to MOPO, but this is got to be one for the books.   I won two original glass slides on ebay last week and was VERY EXCITED, that not only I won them, but what they were.   One was an original release from Pinocchio and the other was the 1940 re-release from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.   The seller is "ins3549", the winning amounts were only 7.00 each and he charged 5.00 for shipping, which was almost twice the amount stated in the auction. By the way I'm not complaining about these amounts what so ever...only that not complaining about the shipping, I'd hoped he would show a little TLC for the glass slides.   The slides were put together in a white legal letter size envelope with a very, very thin piece of gray cardboard and mail as if he was sending a letter. Needless to say.... both slides are totally shattered!!! I'm sure they went through a letter machine and hard telling how many tons of mail went on top of this envelope!   Not only were these pieces rare & some what valuable, but irreplaceable!   I just want to scream....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!   Doug Ball Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
