Worst Packaging Ever.
What's the worst packaged item you've ever received from eBay?
I bought an autographed Chewbacca Star Wars action figure. The figure was "new on card". I paid $5 for USPS shipping.
When I got the figure, it was in a cheap $1 bubble mailer FOLDED IN HALF. Although I was able to somewhat flatten out the card, pretty much any collector's value it once had is now gone.
When I purchased a boxed copy of Sonic 3D Blast I specifically requested that they ship the game in a box, so what I get is the game in a bubble mailer, loosely sliding around in an oversized priority box.
Damage was minor though, and I was still able to make a slip from scans of the packaging to use in a plastic casing.
I have never got real bad shipping. When my LE Gamecube came in frmo Japan teh corner got smashed up. That wasnt cool at all. Not that bad though.

I got an Atari 7200 with controllers and 10 games.
It came in a box with everything thrown in with no padding, bubble wrap, newspaper, NOTHING.
The 7200 was broke in half. All 4 screws that held the top half to the bottom half had broke.
Needless to say I was pissed . If I hadn't paid $20 shipped and had a spare broken 7200 for parts for it I would have done something about it.
I e-mailed the seller and they said "Oh I was out of bubble wrap."
That earned them a negative.
Bubble Wrap is evil!
Because of it, it allows people to pack things cheaply and more times than not they get what they pay for.
I got a complete nes game that was shipped in nothing! The actual game box was taped shut at the top and my address was taped onto the front of the game! I couldn't believe it. In retrospect, it's funny to laugh at such stupidity, but I didn't think it was funny at the time.

My worst was when I won 5 games I needed at the time. I paid standard rate for the items, Priority. 2 weeks later, I got one rattling game, the wrong game, in a manilla envelope, 40 cents shipping. This guy managed to rip off a bunch of other people as well, before disappearing again.
I think Dr. Morbis wins. ;D

A friend of mine won a loose 7800 auction with 5 games and 3 controllers. The stoopid woman threw everything in an oversized priority mail box with no packaging whatsover. When my friend got the box, it rattled like hell. He opened it up to find the 7800 in a million pieces.
that friend would be me, and here are the pics:

she got a negative.
stoopid biyotch!
I love, uh, games and stuff.
Whoa! That really is a shattered console! She really deserves nothing less than a negative!
Sounds like she deserved MORE than a negative. Like an ass kicking.

I got something a few days ago, but I'm not going to complain too much because it was in a cardboard box and wasn't damaged at all, but the only padding that I got with it was two crumpled up sheets of paper and some popped bubble wrap.
Check out my game collection!

I once got 8 Sega CD games packaged in an oversized box, with a little newspaper throw in the bottom...
....imagine the mess

I won a boxed and complete Miracle Piano for NES a while back, and the seller wrapped the piano's outer box in USPS mailing tape. Almost covered the entire box with it. I had asked for insurance, seeing that the item was pricey....good thing I did since it looked like the seller took absolutely no time in preparing the item to ship. Luckily, everything inside the box was fine, but the box was totally beaten o hell and back.
But my box is destroyed....
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
I bought DDR Disney with "free DDR pad!"
Later, I opened my front door to get my mail and there was the box for the DDR pad on the ground with no packaging, just a mailing label stuck on the front. I picked it up and the DDR Disney CD fell out of a GIANT HOLE IN THE BACK OF THE BOX. I can't believe how lucky I was that the game was even still in there.
Luckily Im getting the miracle piano from my friend and it includes everything it originally came with even the box and papers. He just has to get it from his cousinn's and it will be mine for 15 bucks.I won a boxed and complete Miracle Piano for NES a while back, and the seller wrapped the piano's outer box in USPS mailing tape.
