Good Evening To All Night Owls.
I'm bit bored right now, although there is a very nice thunderstorm raging in my part of the Las Vegas Valley right now, so I write of 2 recent eBay transactions, both arriving in my mailbox today.
One seller got screwed and my bookmark bid of 99cents was tops. Shipping of $2.45. He sent the chip in a padded #0 mailer and it arrived in my mailbox 750 miles from him, in 48 hours. He had to have lost money on the transaction.
Seller Two, I bought 3 chips from for $6.99 + $3.00 shipping. Waited 10 days, as that was the estimated shipping arrival time, for the 800 mile journey from her house. Nothing. Contacted her. "I went on vacation for a few days and I've just been too busy since I came back. I'll get them out soon." She DIRECTLY TAPED the chips themselves to an index card and put them in a personal size envelope with 3 stamps on it. No protection. I guess I'm glad (!!??) she taped them, as they would not have made it in that envelope past the first sorting machine otherwise.
Which seller should I favorite and buy from again?

P.S. Not the best lightning shot, but whadda ya want from a cell phone movie capture?
