Worst Ebay Cock Up Of All Time

Posted

Anyone beat this?

Won a pile of 250 singles on december 12th. Seller said they'd pay postage, I told them it would be expensive but they said it was ok. When they find out how much postage is, they ask me to pay $50 towards it, so I did, and then they sent them - by surface mail.

Anyway, package finally turned up today, I eagerly opened it to be confronted by some kind of computer monitor, a crappy old dressing gown and a pair of fluffy slippers. Underneat the address label was the real addressees details - care of a correctional facility in New York state.

Anybody want to buy a pair of slippers??? yes.gif

(the records are lost forever, obviously)

The slippers are dark brown and they match the dressing gown!

Were they wrapped in a nappy?

I finally got through to the correctionasl facility in Muncy and spoke to their mail department who said they had not got my records (!) and that Kimberley Burkins (the prisoner who sent the tv and dressing gown and slippers) was "no longer an inmate there" and had probably given these items away as she didn't have any use for them anymore :yes::shhh::yes:

"got some good news and some bad news...the bad news is, you're gonna die, the good news is, we've found a buyer for your dressing gown and slippers" :yes:

this topic has had me glued ,funniest one ive come across ,and i could keep up with it ha ha.brill :huh:

Did I mention that the actual records turned up?

And they were utter shite?

I think I'll send them back and keep the dressing gown and slippers!
