You know, Glenn, the thing that makes me angrier is I went over my shipping preferences BEFOREHAND with this woman and it made no difference to her. Because she was giving me a post-eBay, out-the-door price, she obviously wanted to keep the weight down. I advised her against doing so but she went ahead anyway. Can't leave negative feedback, I paid her by check, a nightmare only lessened by the lack of rarity of this poster (easier to find) and people are stubborn as mules. I've asked for a refund, I will ship the poster back to her regardless (in a careful manner, despite its damage), and we'll see what happens. I don't mean to minimize this; after all, $50 is NOT pocket change, but I just wanted you all to see the insanity that's still out there messing with people with little common sense on the care and shipping of vintage paper.

To: [email protected] David - How the heck are you going to handle this? I'd be so angry I wouldn't know what to say. How could anyone think that was the right way to ship that poster? INCREDIBLE!

Lawrence of Arabia Oscars WC arrives in s*** condition. OK, MoPo'ers, take a look: Despite excruciating shipping instructions to the seller of an unfolded "Lawrence of Arabia" window card -- for which I paid an even $50.00 out-the-door for -- this is what arrived today: The seller goes by "kandinsky55" at eBay. Her original eBay posting is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110525153464 You already know what I'm thinking and how frustrated/angry I am -- I paid $50 for this, hardly a rare item -- but it was in super shape, no flaws. I'm now looking for an UNFOLDED replacement for this -- and of course -- I'm also still looking for the ROADSHOW STYLE, the latter for which I'll pay $900-$1K in super condition. -d.
