Stolen Parcel.

Post by Cosmic Puppet »

Okay, so I've just checked and confirmed that an item I bought on ebay was an earlier listing which had been sent to myself and was missing in the post.
(Evri/Hermes)

The brass kneck!

This was a Star LC-10, but what came was the LC-10 colour, and it was not in a brand new box as listed.

This arrived via Royal Mail recorded.

The sticker over the microchip and the creases in the booklet match the earlier (missing) listing.

I'm truly blown away.

My impatience has uncovered a thief. :lol:

Tell us more!

This sounds like the old nasty thief in the street with the same number and name as my close, who used to keep our parcels. :evil:

He's threatened me for leaving negative feedback, saying I will be liable for any loss in sales.

The box in the photo doesn't even match what came.

Said he bought it from a car boot sale.

Package received by Hermes on 23rd March as per tracking.

Item goes up on eBay 27th March.

So in 4 days the package went from Hermes to a car boot sale and then onto eBay and delivered to me via Royal Mail recorded.

Does anyone else smell something odd? :lol: :shite:

By the way. The original owner confirms this is his item.

I still can't get over it.

I have stolen goods. Bought by me, stolen and then bought by me again. My brain just can't compute it.

The sender's address is on the box. The second sender that is!!!

My head aint gonna chill until I've slept and woke up again.

I sat in the bath today, and thought "What if...Nah...I'll check the photos of the original purchase...OH MY GOD!!!"

This reminds me of the guy who sold me a fake Samsung charger. Even though Samsung looked at it and said "We didn't make that". he still insisted it was genuine.

Days like these I'm glad I'm mortal and I'll get out of this existence. :lol:

Anyone know if there's a way I can print these? No print option in the menu. Is there a key combination for printing on the Atari? A sort of print screen option?

If the program doesn’t have a print option then the only way is to take a picture of the screen I’m afraid.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yeah, I can take a screen snap with SNAPPIT and then print it from GEMVIEW. :lol:

It prints from GEMVIEW in the lowest res. Be better to just print from snapfish. Unless it can be changed to a .TXT file

Was wondering about the solder joint on this diode.
