Really disappointing, I've had a few consoles shipped to be (purchased working or broken) that are thrown into a box with no packaging. The times I've called this out I got some excuse of "oh, it was packed much better, but that must have all gotten damaged and fallen out and then repackaged improperly in transit!!!! soooooo sorry." A few that come to mind...
- PS1: Broken, console only, just tossed into a box and shipped out. The seller insisted it was packed much better with material, I don't believe that. Selling a broken product is not an excuse to ship it improperly!!! I later revisited this console and found out it was premodded, but the laser assembly was a bit broken. My lazy method of repair was replacing the laser assembly from another broken PS1 I had on hand. All worked just fine after that!
- Xbox: Cables, console, and controllers just tossed into a box. Was really annoyed at this as I bought it in working condition and did pay a premium for it due to a modchip it had in it. The console itself was also in much rougher shape than the seller led me to believe with one of the LEDs not working, grime all over the console, several other issues. The system still worked and we worked out a partial refund as the seller couldn't decide if he forgot to toss in a second controller or if it was swiped when it was "repackaged" in transit. I'll get around to ripping it all apart and refurbishing it one of these days...
- Xbox 360: Console motherboard in the chassis, matching DVD drive daughterboard tossed in, all thrown into a medium sized flat rate USPS box. I only paid shipping for this item from the seller as it was a donation, I was personally SHOCKED it all worked! Was able to rebuild the system and modify it with no issues, surprisingly.
