    Paid $7.50 for shipping. Item doesn't weight much at all, so trying to figure out why the guy didn't use a freaking box.

    You should send that bag/envelope thing back to him taped up and filled with feces, with a little note attached saying "just wanted to thank you for doing such an awesome job packing my microphone".

    I had a similar thing happen when I got my Sunstreaker. Dude packed the box in a single layer of paper. The box was all crunched on the bottom. Congrats on getting that though tough to find one, harder in good condition. Hopefully seller will work with you, good luck.

    Congrats alphie. I know you've wanted one for a long time. Its a shame the box is trashed, but at least the microphone works.

    I would seriously let the seller have it in the feed back. Especially if he's already left you feedback.

    Well, I got EXTREMELY lucky. I paid only $17.00 for it. It usually runs around $100 plus in good condition. Rarely shows up on Ebay. If it does it's rather tricky. You can search under AM radio or microphone. It's SUPER rare.

    NICE, Alphie! I've only seen a couple of those (including this one) in the ebay era.

    very rare indeed. I'm glad you got it! I'd certainly bitch about the packing... :thumbdown 

    Oh, and I wouldn't wait on a PM, battlebeasts. Most of us don't get our grails to turn and sell 'em - especially if you searched near and far as she did.

    at least I hope you don't Alphie ;)

    That's awesome. Any chance to get a comparison shot with G1 Megs, or a audio sample of you using it? Would be cool

    You couldsay "You're a cheapass , you envelope whore!" and send the tape to the seller hehe

    Ah well, it's still a kickass score, congrats Alphie!

    Maybe you can use it to yell at kevin to do the dishes :lol

    UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

    Well, perseverance prevails! :ev: 

    What is this?

    [​IMG]

    Could it be?

    [​IMG]

    Screams with glee! And it's packaged all nice and pretty for me. :D 

    [​IMG]

    And the package is mint. The rips and such I'm use to. Most of the oddities I get with boxes usually have worn boxes.

    [​IMG]

    And free comics to boot! I don't care about them though.

    [​IMG]

    And I got this voice changer as well. The auction was for the mic and this voice changer. This, is not complete but makes for a good display piece.
