So just 10 days after saying I had another #5/XXX Harris card coming, it arrived today at work.... like this:

Sorry about the pics, taken on iPhone. But for those asking the other day about how they upload pics, I took these pics about 5mins ago, and uploaded them to my Gallery site using the iPhone app.


Stoked that it arrived safely, but seriously, it was sent like this! Seller with an almost 500 feedback too! I guess that's what $2.50 standard international shipping is from Holland!

Oh sorry, took the pics after I'd already opened it up to see what/how it was.

At least it was in a toploader, and inside of something and between other cards, so they did try to protect it. Maybe that was so they could send it as a letter (cheaper) and possibly not risk import fees (like they would likely suffer if they were to receive cards). Don't be tooo quick to hammer them.

Yeah the last one that sent me a couple of Barkleys in a paper envelope, I left + feedback, but left a short "should use bubble mailers" message. Same will apply here.

I'm not pissed cos the cards are safe. Just education to some people, something I (assumed) would have been there with a near-500 feedback user.

Anyways, doesnt deter the fact that I've gotten another #5/XXX Harris!!!!

Yeah, I agree! There is a lot of pressure on sellers to keep the postage cost down. And, at the end of the day, the risk is all theirs! If it doesn't survive, then he will have to refund!

I think the whole 'should always use a bubble mailer' thing is more about respecting the card than the costs involved. Personally I would happily have paid an extra $1 or $2 for a bubble mailer, considering this is technically a 1/1 card!

Yeah one problem with postage on ebay, is we never really know HOW they're going to send the item/card. Majority from the States vary from $4-$8 for "standard international". USUALLY they're in a yellow bubble mailer.

I know we whinge about people over-charging postage, and of course, if we added up all the "over charged" amounts, we'd be millionaires, but at the end of the day, if you pay a reasonable price, and the card is delivered in respectible materials, and it arrives safely, we're all good.

Yeah, Ebay 1/1 Ad, lol. Actually, I say that on a 1/XXX listed the other night. The words "Ebay 1/1" were in the title!

Like hairy said, at least you got it in a top loader! I had a former member of this site send me a mj auto in a penny sleeve, thrown straight into an express post satchel.

Nah mate, I didnt actually buy that one, they just threw it in the mix. TBH, I've barely looked at it, lol. Was just stressing about the Harris' condition, ha ha.

I'll soon be getting my collection online folks, so I'll have some more numbers worked out on how many Draft # cards I have, etc.
