Well I continue to be amazed at the lack of skill/thought some Ebayers put into packaging items they sell. This latest one is deserving of a post. Can anyone guess whats carefully packaged in the brown paper and shipped via USPS?

Excellent guesses!!! It's a vintage 1/8 painted lexan body. Miraculously only slightly damaged. Seller informed me the $20 shipping wasn't enough and I should pay him another $10. He had a wonderful attitude to boot.

And to think of all the tax payer money that could be saved if NASA sent the Rover to Mars using the magic of brown paper and 3M tape:)

I bought a set of bearings from an eBay seller (not one of the good brands, these were like 10 for $2.99)
A couple hours later I ordered another size I forgot I needed.
I really wish I had taken a picture. There was a bubble mailer with one tube of bearings, and a plastic Baggie taped to the bubble mailer on the outside with another tube of bearings. How it made the trip from HK I will never know
