Any more, when I'm dealing with an non-professional seller, I ask how they are going to ship my item.

And if I don't like the answer, I let the seller know how I would like the item packed.  I even state I will pay more to have it shipped right.

The loss of these two old glass slides is a damn shame, considering there was no need for it to happen.

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 slid! es 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!
