wolff Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 When I picked up the box from a recent Ebay purchase, it was too heavy. Upon opening the box I found my item and the purchases for two other individuals. Their Paypal invoices were also enclosed. About 12 nice Jimmy Smith LP's(3 BN's and the rest Verves, the best being BN 1525 that he paid $57) and 5 sealed Time Life sets. The invoices add up to $200+. I guess I'll post them FS in the Offerring/Looking For forum. Not wanting bad vinyl karma, I've notified the seller offerring to ship them on. I guess I could burn to CD a few before I ship them.

I'm not sure the buyers would appreciate your playing their vinyl before sending it on... LMAO I'm pretty sure they would be incredibly grateful of not being out $200 and would tell me to go ahead and play them, clean them and repackage them and go to the Post Office and wait in line, fill out out the customs form, etc...

Brad Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I'm sure your kidding about burning them. That's probably unethical, not to menton illegal. But this has happened to me. I received something not what I expected and the other buyer received mine. So we simply traded and the seller send us money for shipment (with much apologies of course) and everything turned out well. Quote

street singer Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 You are to be commended for your good deed, wolff. I don't think too many people would've done as you have... Quote
wolff Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Posted September 27, 2004 The seller stopped communicating after a while. I contacted the buyers and one of them sent me $60 for postage to UK as the seller disappeared. The other buyer has not responded to numerous e-mails. I guess I'm the new owner of 5 sealed Time/Life sets. Quote

andybleaden Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Actually in all seriousness. This happened to me as a seller years ago when clearing out some cds...sent wrong cds to two people who were kind enough to swap! I of course rewarded them with a high reward I am impressed at your response and waht an example to us all Quote
