So you admit to having "problems" in your shady past. Let me ask you this Mr. Bigshot Ebay seller: Did you specify that you wanted those chips sent in a protective bubble mailer?? Did you, Sir? And did you request from the seller that he send to you the chips intact? I think not. Did yoou mention to the seller that you have a deep rooted phobia for plain white envelopes steming from your sorted childhood??
Just as I thought!
