[78-L] Ugggh, again...

[Mark Bardenwerper]

Another bad packing job from Ebay seller. This one really frosted me 
because I sent him instructions. It was not broken, it was badly warped, 
bent really. Here is what I wrote:

"Hello,
I am sorry to find that this record, though probably in fine condition 
before you shipped it, is now unplayable. There is more than one reason 
for putting cardboard on both sides of a record when you ship it. First, 
the common sense one. They are fragile and they break very easily. This 
one did not break, what happened is the box was in the back of a semi 
that was in the hot sun for long periods of time. The record actually 
partially melted. It is now bent. I might be able to fix it, but what a 
shame to do this to a recording when all you had to do was tape in 
between two pieces of cardboard as I asked.

If you want to sell records, you will have to learn to pack them safely. 
Do it right and they will go over Niagara Falls unharmed. Do it wrong 
and you might as well take it out back a hit it with a hammer and save 
yourself the trouble.

Not happy, not for me but for the lost voices on that record. You just 
mishandled a piece of history."
