How this guy named Dom shipped my CIB Duo

[gex]

lol

[Dicer]

What in the honest ever living fuck is wrong with people?

[geise]

Surprised you even got it. Holy shit! Sorry man. Was this through a forum or ebay?

Do you have pics of before the amazing packing and shipping?

[Gypsy]

Can't fix stupid. Sheesh.

[bob]

that’ll buff out

[Necromancer]

Aww, that poor box.  How can anyone be so ignorant about the value added by the original packaging?!?

Is the Duo itself okay?

Sacrilege. I know the feeling. I had a very rare diecast aircraft shipped to me the same way. It took me hours to painstakingly remove the god awful shipping labels and layers of tape. Mercifully, I eventually found another in perfect condition but for a while I just wanted to drag the seller out into the street and shoot him. Ugh.

First pic is how it should have arrived. It was missing the slipcover, which the seller never mentioned in the auction:




Here is how it arrived:

When I bought a Dynastic Hero manual at a time when a CIC could sell for as much as $200 - $300, the seller sent it loose in a manila envelope.

When I bought Bonk 3 CD for a lot of money from one of those mega sellers, they sent it in a bubble envelope.

Several times over the years I had valuable boxed consoles sent with only paper wrapped around the console box.

Oh yeah, some bits of plastic in the box itself from being banged around. But besides that and it needing a recap it's all good.

It was on eBay, some older computer salesman it looks like. Before pic is ^^. Only picture I ever got before buying, was a gamble buy. Hoping it was super complete to get some paperwork and stuff I don't have

I'm resigned to the fact that I'll never find another obi strip for the DUO box that I used to have. It was an advert strip that mentioned the $200 or so of coupons and games included with the set. Nothing special for the casual gamer, but pure gold for someone like me.

Unless someone can produce some flawless re-re's of it for us, then I'm S.O.L.

They're hard to find hey? I've had a couple Duo boxes in the last few years and haven't had luck myself either

I remember when that DH manual on eBay sold for $150, then some seller saw that sold and listed their CIC for that

Didn't Bob pay $50 for the copy he washes his dishes with?
