I HATE THE EBAY F*****S, WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING MUCH MONEY !!!

After 10 years of searching finally i found it. The Sanyo came packed like you can see in the pic.

:jawdrop: You have got to be joking Peter, that's not packing at all that's just throwing in a box and putting a label on it.

Seeing that Sanyo like that brings me to tears. :'-( That is my ultimate Mini that I will probably never have, it's just to rare.
The seller should be strung up for this act of gross neglegence. :dunce: :judge: :ls-duel: :jason:

peter --is it cracked all the way around --or in other places ?
does it all work ??

if it works -and the front view is not smashed--
then - at least you can use it // see it

while on your long search for your next one.

dont forget --
99.999 % of us want this model -
and we have none ---and prolly never will
 
Hey bros

What can be done in these terrible cases? After you payed the shipping and the boombox? What can be done (aside from leaving a really negative feedback that is).

Peter, what country (buyer) did you get this from so we don't fall into the same mistake...

Sorry to see that Sanyo bro, really sucks the big one...

I'm with Ira on this. If the Sanyo works and looks good from the front and you can carry it around without it crumbling through your fingertips, then you've still got something there... something that most of us only dream about. Listen to it, take "full frontal" photos of it... but, at the same time, start searching for another one.

Not too long ago, I received a blaster from Korea that the seller simply laid in a bed of shredded paper, closed the box, and put in the mail. It arrived in so many pieces that it literally disintegrated when I picked it up. I had shards of plastic all over the living room for months.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to minimize the seriousness of your problem. You have the right to be devastated and furious! There's no excuse for packing like that (other than laziness, cheapness, or pure stupidity). But one thing I've come to realize over the years is that non-collectors just don't seem to realize a) how fragile boomboxes really are (sending a boombox is nothing at all like sending a toothbrush... or even a Walkman), and b) how much bumping/dropping/kicking/tossing packages actually get from delivery services.

After years of buying boomboxes on eBay, I'm no longer surprised when they arrive looking like your Sanyo. Angry and heartbroken, yes... but not surprised. I've come to expect that about a third of the boomers I buy will arrive busted in some way. Go ahead and mourn your loss for a while. Scream and yell. And cry. You have the right to. But when you're tired of feeling bad, lift your chin up (knowing that most of your fellow collectors have experienced exactly what you experienced... and not just once, but many times), open up your computer, and start searching again. Trust me. There are better days ahead!

I understand. And for sure i know, that most of the members and collectors had the same problems with sellers. Its not the first broken box i got from ebay sellers. But for any reason i never was so furied like today, when i got a broken boombox. I ve sent the seller 2 mails, to pack the Sanyo very careful and safe. Anyways, life goes on and the Sanyo will be shiny soon. Im listening to it right know :-) . The sound is very good. Thank you

In this case I think Peter needs to see what the seller is willing to do first and go from there, if he's lucky the seller will refund half or more but you never know unless you ask.

some people are so freaking sketchy when it comes to shipping stuff. i mean i dont know how someone could be that stupid.
i used to be so paranoid of anything i used to ship being broken i often shipped stuff in a metal box with foam on the inside of it. nothing i ever shipped arrived busted.

I feel for you bro. Been there, had that, far too many times.

In fact, I think I've had more than my fair share of broken boomboxes due to shipping, that if there is any equalizing force in this universe, my next 20 boomboxes should arrive in perfect condition. Alas, I'm not holding my breath.

This is what ticks me off the most. :annoyed:
It happens all the time unfortunately but this is one rare and special box and should have been treated extra carefully. Obviously the seller didn't give a crap, like Peter said is was just about the $$$'s. :thumbsdown:
