    You definitely got incredibly lucky on this in many ways, especially with the speed it was shipped out so that no underhanded POS could side deal you.

     

    I was a nervous wreck for days. Even after it shipped. lol

     

    Something happened to me one time that i didn't even know was legal. I once bought a lot of games off Ebay. It wasn't even that great of a deal. It was some N64 games and you could not even see them all. Half of them were in a basket. I thought it would be fun and take a gamble. They shipped the package and everything seemed to be normal. Well the very day it was to be delivered the package was "Out for delivery" like normal. I decided to check the tracking one more time before it got here at it now said "Customer Recall" I wasn't sure what was going on. Thought maybe the mailman scanned it wrong. When he comes to the door to deliver my mail he said his supervisor tracked him down and retrieved the package while it was out for delivery. He said the people called the post office to get it back. After this happened i googled this and sounds like this should not have happened and it is not suppose to be this easy to get a package back. I had to go through Ebay to get my money back. They never would message me back.

     

    I'm sure this was just an isolated incident and it may never happen again. But now i don't feel safe until the package is in my hands. ;)

    On the flip side this has happened to me and it was not a side deal. The seller just had noticed that "Wow this sold way too fast" and decided to look up the games (which they were too lazy to do earlier) and find out they screwed up. A good seller will tell you the truth and hopes that you will understand. A bad seller won't tell you anything.

     

    The person i won Spiker from sent me a message about how it was only up for 10 minutes. But i guess i lucked out and they did not look it up.

    We're sorry to let you know that deadalive-111 canceled your order and mentioned the reason as I'm out of stock or can't fulfill the order for another reason.

    The seller refunded back to your original payment method, and you don't need to do anything else.

     

    This is why i did not post the Spiker link until after i received it. Lucky for me nobody even noticed it until after it was shipped. It's too dangerous these days. Really good chance some dishonest people lurk on these forums. :(

    Cool receipt. I've been lightly collecting receipts as well. It's kind of neat to see what people were paying at specific dates in the past.

     

    I have a couple purchase receipts i just lucked out and randomly got. One came with a copy of Tower of Doom i won and another came with a Model 2 Intellivision system i won.

    at least you finally made it to the 125 hundo club. :) Was spiker the only one you were missing when you got this package? Any other game parts you didnt have until you got this?

     

    Yep Spiker was the only game i was missing when i got the package. Everything has been traded or sold off except for a few commons.

    You make hundreds of gaming videos but you can't talk into a microphone for 5 minutes?

    :P

     

    Hmm...

     

    I don't know, it's just different. I do my videos in an unprofessional all over the place fashion. I am such a nervous/shy person who has 101 phobias, i never thought i would have the courage to do videos. But i do them my way on my terms. I can ramble on incoherently and it doesn't matter. lol

     

    I must say it's very intimidating when you have had guests on your show already that have told stories that dwarf anything i could tell. My childhood was pretty boring. My mother was strict and i wasn't even allowed to leave the house too much. So most of my stories consist of my 1 friend who would come over and we would play Intellivision. The end. lol

    Dude, do me a favor. Cut open one of brotherhood buttons and inspect the metal under paper. Maybe rust?

     

    Yuck. Rusted bad. Not sure why. There is no moisture in here. Maybe just cheap metal. Half of the buttons were sitting on shelves and the other half were inside one of the Rubbermaid file cabinets.
