I have always accepted that their are risks with Ebay, and as such rairly spend more than I am willing to loose.
Recently I thought I had lost a gamble with a nice cheap price on some 4Gb Microdrives (Tiny Harddisks for the Non-geeky). Until this morning when an envelope turned up, and I thought, WOW, don’t tell me they have ACTUALLY turned up… Well, I was half right..
The package was a plain yellow envelope, sent from the states, one corner of it was worn through, though I didn’t notice this until after ripping the envelope open. Inside was ONE (Not two like I had ordered) 4Gb Microdrive.
The Drive looked a little sad… It was lonely, missing it’s mate who has obviously decided to hope out somewhere for a holiday, leaving a lone drive to make the rest of the trip. Ahhh… random hopyoutyness, I’ll never know were that other drive got to.
And thats not to mention the fact that these extremely delicate small harddrives were packages into a plain paper envelope, to travel through 2 countries automated mailing systems… Come on people… how STUPID can you get… The Drive that I do have, has a huge dent in the back of it, it’s useless basically. Stupid stupid people… What a waste…
Well, there’s $90 I will never see again.
So, that’ll be a fairly scathing feedback comment for the seller then, eh? I mean, they’re obviously dumber than a very dumb thing with a Bachelor of Dumb from Dumb University and Honours in Creation Science.
I would… But surprizingly the seller has choosen to vacate thier seat of stupidity, opting to deregister their Ebay account and travel to unknown parts of cyberspace. I’m guessing they packed a fairly decent lunch, threw in a sleeping bag and never intend on visiting this planet again… Or in other words, they done a runner!
