what bad news.another lovely boombox falls foul of the dreaded situation that is the sham they call shipping.but,and it is a big but,it can be saved in my opinion,if you can live with the damage afterwards.go for at least half your money back,and put some of that into materials to get it fixed up again.i hate beyond hate greedy ebay merchants who think they can capitolise on an item then have the downright cheek to package it so badly that it gets damaged-makes my blood boil.

7 Days ago I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world! My personal grail showed up on Ebay a Sharp 999, listed as a 9 out of 10 and fully working! I snapped it up and waited. Today it arrived!

And the bigger picture...

So I guess this is the perfect picture to sum up how NOT to pack a boombox for shipping:

If the shipping box is the same length as the boombox your shipping, probably not a great sign!

I contacted the seller, puff0435, and he asked me to contact Ebay, so we'll see......
