I'd be so disappointed to come across something like that. You'd think any seller these days hocking stuff on eBay would have at least some idea of basic packing. Take some pics of the poor packaging and hopefully you will get your money back and keep the TAM ... Even better, then you could source a replacement CD door and sub case and all would be well again, hopefully. I'm assuming the Bose sub will sound horrible as it's not a sealed unit anymore.

Yep, bought it on eBay last week:

You paid $65 for shipping, so it better have been well insured. You should also register a complaint with eBay in case the shipper doesn't want to take responsibility because it was packed poorly. Make sure you document everything - don't get rid of any of the packaging!

Yep, that is ENTIRELY unacceptable "packaging", and ownership lies squarely in the court of the seller, not the shipping company... even handled like eggshells, the machine would have broken just from movement during transport, due to lack of any packaging in the box. This completely useless moron deserves to be held to acount for his sheer laziness and failure to meet his obligation as a seller. You paid for a working and complete machine, and you got a splintered wreck, due to the sellers lack of care alone, so as such I would say compensation is in order for the product you realistically did not receive.

This does not surprise me in the least. Most people dont care, and want that quick buck.

eBay will quickly snatch that potential buck away from the greedy outstretched hands of this expectant miscreant. [

Incredibly disappointing though, I feel your loss.

Anyone who has been in this game for any length of time, has gotten a similarly treated item. I cannot imagine packing something like that, and especially with something like a TAM - what a sad situation. I have had good, end results with eBay/Paypal in situations like this (as a buyer), so I hope things turn out for you as well.
