Afternoon all , Just would be interested in a few opinions on a radio i recently purchased , it was listed as new (other) , title and description stated NOS ( new old stock).
Now the the radio was shown in its original polystyrene foam packaging , 3 pictures all up , 2 showing it in the packaging and one close up of the radio.
Fantastic , Radio arrived as shown in the packaging , all good , very happy chappy ,
now move forward a week and a half , seller lists more of the same radio as buy it now, has 6 listed , no problem , i buy all six ,
when the 6 radios arrived , they had No packaging and they were just wrapped in plastic shopping bags with one layer of bubble wrap.
As these units are approx 30 years old and proving that an item of that age is in fact new old stock, I believe the packaging has a significant impact on the value .
What i suppose i am asking here is , do others think that, as they arrived with no packaging but loose and just wrapped in plastic shopping bags , do i have a reasonable expectation to be a bit more than disappointed here?
on a item of that age , the value does have a lot to do with the original packaging.
I tried to sort it out with the seller involved but he just kept side stepping the issue and wouldnt give a direct response.
I honestly think he threw out the original packaging and repacked them to make the parcel smaller for postage but he wont admit to any thing.
