Figured I'd share this here...
About two years ago, July 2003, I won a Famicom/Famicom Disk System/Games lot from eBay. Cost me about 250.00 after SAL shipping (slow, cheap method). It was shipped in 3 packages from Japan, one was the Famicom & Adapter for FDS, one was Games, one was FDS itself, power adapter & a few more FDS games.
The 3rd package never arrived.
The guy was very nice about it though, he agreed to replace it for me, I'd just have to pay for EMS (Fast, trackable method) shipping. It cost me about 50.00 to have it shipped. It arrived, I was happy, but there was still a lost package.
Yesterday my brother comes home from school, tells me that his friend claims he has a package of mine that got mistakenly delivered to his house. That his mom opened it and shoved it in the closet a long time ago. So we go pick it up, and of course, it's the missing Famicom DIsk System...
If you could read the ship date on it, you'd see that it says 7-3-2003.
So, my package get's delivered to someone's house by mistake, and instead of putting it back out by the mailbox with a note saying "wrong address" or taking it to the post office....3 MINUTES AWAY...they open it and keep it. When the open it and realize it's nothing they can use or hawk at a pawn shop for a few bucks...they shove it in their closet. The bubble wrap around the system and games hadn't even been undone!
Sometimes I wonder what our society is coming to, deceitful, everyone's always out for themselves. Really makes me sad ya know.
Well, I just thought I'd share.
