They routinely, gratuitously, by necessity it seems beat the living hell out of everything. You NEED to have the person pack it well. Make that VERY WELL. I can pack something that could withstand an H-bomb. Others typically don't show the care :(. Granted this wasn't an old puter, but a piece of cast iron that arguably was worth 10x what I payed for it (300$). I was prepared for the worst, though it just might not turn out so bad. You gotta learn as you live. Perhaps someone near the auction can buy it, store it for a bit, if you're short of cash. I like to hold off on long distance shipments as much as possible. I keep telling myself stuff like that will turn up nearer to *home*, and will be free :). Sometimes it does. But you can't count on this stuff being available forevermore. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.
