"ebay predicament (please read if you can)" , posted Sat 8 Feb 20:33post reply


ok, i've got a bit of a situation on my hands. i'd like some input. here's how it goes

back on New Years, i let onslaught use "our" (three people share this account) ebay account to order $100+ worth of Resident Evil action figures from some dude in Canada. but a week or so later, we couldn't find any real way for onslaught to send that money there, so i told the guy i'd pay the price for him to put those auctions on ebay ($10) and he said sure. so i send in the cash and everything's fine. until now

a few days ago, i get this e-mail saying "the package is on its way! thank you for blah blah blah" and i'm like wtf. but i was also expecting my lunch box to arrive at the time so i didn't think much of it. now, this morning, i wake up and there's a bigass package in the hallway. my parents must've signed for it. it says it's from that ebay guy

here's a picture of the box. i put it next to my stuff to show you how huge it is

now, what do you guys think of the situation? would it be wise to open this mysterious box? i will be e-mailing the guy pretty soon. if he fucked up and wants the package back, he'll have to send me money for shipping

but ... there is on discrepancy i didn't mention. i compared the address of the ebay guy to the address on the box. everything matched -- same name, same street address, etc etc -- except for the city. "Chomedey, Quebec" is the city i was given through e-mail. on the box, it says "Laval, Quebec"

off-topic (sorta), just great. i hear more news about the security alert our nation has received. NOW I'M FREAKIN OUT! WOO WOOO

Probably you shouldn't bother opening it unless you're going to keep it

the different city is also probably just an error made by the seller

People have made money off of weirder items on E-bay...

But you could go one better, and display it as a Mystery E-bay box at your place. Charge people a buck a pop to see it, but not to look in it...You'd make Ten's of dollars..:)

BTW, like the new AV Rugal..Nice and cute...

I think its best to be honest and contact the guy about the box. Let us know what you decide to do. Interesting you guys share an eBay account.

Heh, yeah so if the guy does'nt give you a special reward or something for your your honesty you take out whatever's in the box and replace it with the King of town. Go ahead we will be happy to get of of that pile of butter eating crap.

he replies!

"I guess somebody fell asleep with your payment. I ship out of the US. I drive down ther twice a week and give my boxes to USPS. They are much safer then canada Post. Can you please return the items. Keep 2 of them for your shipping costs. Send them to the US address for cheaper charges."

free toys!

i guess i'll go open the box now. but i'm still paranoid. this may be my last post. goodbye, everybody  T_T  it's been fun!

EDIT:
correction: somewhat free toys!
