Pack your shit up tighter than a jar of fucking homemade Speedy McCready pickles. Prepare for water, prepare for some negligent USPS asshole to sit on your fucking box, etc., etc., Don't skimp. Buy a box of proper LP mailers and shipping boxes. It's worth the investment if you give a shit about trading/selling on this forum and other places, TRUST ME. You don't want to re-use old shit, most boxes were made like a condoms, ONE TIME USE ONLY, PLEASE.

:rofl: that episode was too funny! "they should put that on the package" "they do!" :rofl:

If he would have done as instructed the record sent would have been in damaged packaging. The remedy is the insurance claim. Receiver got nothing, you got $50

He was arguing for me to still send my rare beatles vinyl which is worth hundreds and i tried to explain to him that I don't feel that would be fair on my end but I don't think this will ever end with me being viewed as rational by him

I understand...I was just going with the logic that you were supposed to send the Beatles record in the packaging that he provided....which was horribly damaged.

He also gets his original vinyl back, so technically he comes out on top. He is getting $50 from the postal service and his original vinyl returned to him (which yes I opened the backspacer) but I still sent his vinyl back to him so he can decide to do with it whatever he wants and he is getting the claim money so in reality I am the one who is on the worst end of this deal...right?

Can you open a sealed record from a record store, then take it back?  Just curious...

Are you seriously still ragging on this? You are getting $50 and you can buy a new sealed backspacer vinyl for $19.99. Stop being so ridiculous about this. I apologized for it being opened, I will post that message in this thread if you feel it's necessary. I really don't understand your fixation on this. You are getting $50 to reimburse you for your damages so just move on.

Im still trying to figure one thing out.   A rare Beatles record for a black Backspacer?   

it was for a backspacer, coke bottle ten, and david bowie vinyl. all of which have damage to them but he is fixated on the fact that I opened the sealed black backspacer and found deep scratches on both sides of it and thinks that his $50 insurance claim from the post office and me returning the vinyl to him is screwing him over instead of keeping his damaged vinyl. (there are pictures in the first post) 

The meat of the trade was meant to be the coke ten and due to his packing it took structural damage and I'm sure the vinyl has damage so really I would be the one being screwed in this trade.

Dude. I’ve got a sealed (I think) black Backspacer and sealed coke Ten, but not the Bowie vinyl.  I could work out trade with you if that’s what your looking for.  Not necessarily the Beatles vinyl. Pm me.

I don't even care if the backspacer is sealed or not so long as it isn't covered in deep scratches...and I get yelled at for opening it to see that

Pretty sure the first batch of Backspacers had flaws from the processing plant. Even the random variant red ones. They reissued new ones, but you had to contact them. So it is actually possible he sent you a damaged one he didn’t know about.  But that wasn’t the case with the Coke Ten.  

It is my understanding you could be mixing up two albums. I remember Lightning Bolt having flaws (released on black and random red). Backspacer, as far as I know, only had releases on black and white.

I think you are right with this, Lightning Bolt was the one with the random red but again I am not 100% sure don't quote me on it.
