i suppose but I expect the valueless steels to be packaged carefully too

That 5 euro metal gear rising steel?

As a buyer I expect it to turn up not dented like mad

I do understand and agree that when you get great deals on something like that you can't expect a collectors packing mentality but again the whole listening thing is what bothers me and all that

Oh you def have the right to expect the same of all items I m just trying to say that someone who lists something badly or has no idea of value needs a damn sight more guidance than the experienced seller offering a well listed 'buy it now' option....

Has all the required bits in it too

Needs a few tweaks , like
If you have any questions as to how to do any of this then feel free to ask me BEFORE posting the item please
Or even why I am asking you to package this, in what seems like an over the top way of packaging then I can explian, my post man is an idiot and constantly drops mail or sits on it and this excessive amounts t of packaging is required in order that the items arrives undamaged

Or you could try the truth
The border forces employee sniffer dogs to sniff everything coming into the country I live in, and what they do is let the dogs walk all over the mail and scratch at all of it, some of these dogs weigh in excess of 30 KGs and the packaging needs to be able to withstand that weight on it and also offer enough protection that if the package is pieces by a claw that the contents do not come into contact with a claw
(That's how border agencies generally work to the vest of my knowledge)

Heck I don't care if you keep the disc as that can be replaced but this metal case thing, well it is incredibly hard for me to find it
I would like you to wrap this up as if it was going to do 12 rounds of pass the parcel at a 7 year olds birthday party, but instead of using wrapping paper, it is important you use bubble wrap instead
Oh and to be clear
I am happy to pay any extra for the materials and postage costs that are a result of packing the item as I have explained to you
Thanks

I think there are even some members on this forum who couod use this advice

Nice pick ups btw
