Should I be upset?

Well, what was the purchase price? You DID buy 30 plus year old USED stuff. Did you pay a kings ransome or did you get a screamin deal? Maybe he is just like the rest of us and cannot afford good packin materials and does the best he can. I know there was a seller had a boat load of consoles and shifters on here for WAY cheap. If it was him and you paid dirt cheap, then I'd shut up about it. I was at a friend's house recently when his shifter and console came in. It was packed about the same and was just fine. I know cause "I" opened and unpacked it. As cheap as it was purchased, I wouldn't have said one word about some minor damage like yours......and it IS minor. It CAN be repaired easily. Yeah, it sucks it got broken. But if it was insured, what do you really expect the seller to do? I've received stuff before that was packed so good, you would think it could survive a war but it arrived broken. Sometimes, it's just not all the sellers fault. I do however agree that is was wrong of him to just stop responding......BUT has he also stopped responding everywhere else on here? Mightta had some kinda family emergency come up. You never know. I say wait it out before assuming the worst. Dude mightta had a damned heart attack or somethin. I sure hope not, but you don't know what other people might have on their plate. I know mine is pretty frikkin full. How's yours?
