Lots of sellers have been lambasted lately.  I just wanted to pass on a great experience :)



I bought this item:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... &viewitem=



I came last week, it was double boxed, used bubble wrap, packing peanuts between the boxes.  Arrived in perfect shape (much better than I expected really) and was exactly as described :)



It does not happen very often, but this guy sure impressed me. :D

It is always nice when something is properly protected for shipping. I recenty purchased a couple copies of OSRIC from Black Blade Publishing and it was packed so well with so many layers my wife asked me if it was some kind of joke (with so much packing to go thru).

Black Blade Publishing imprint of OSRIC is not only the most definitive printing of OSRIC to date, but also the single greatest resource for old school gamers since the three original hardbacks written by E. Gary Gygax.

He made so much money on the associated modules, that he could afford to splurge on packaging for everyone that day.  :)


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games
