I have WAY too many horribly sad stories about shipping damage. I have tried to suggest to sellers to pack carefully. Sometimes they do OK, sometimes they fail miserably, and sometimes they get angry and offended that I dare tell them how to do anything. I wish there was a fool-proof solution (other than local pickup which isn't always an option).

This was in good shape before the seller didn't pack it properly :(. Anyway, thanks for listening fellow retro enthusiasts :) John On Sat, Feb 24, 2018 at 1:46 PM, John Heritage <john.heritage@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Folks,
I'm still on the lookout for an Atari 810 drive to match my Atari 800 computers. There are two types -- one with a 'barn door' that opens up, and another with the middle flip lid. I want the middle flip lid type.
I just ordered one on Ebay and of course the guy packaged it horribly, so the case became heavily damaged so now I have deal with returning it. :(.
Anyway, It doesn't have to work perfectly I just something for nostalgia/collection sake.
I have cash and 1050 drives to trade if appropriate.
Thank you! John
