A couple hours later I ordered another size I forgot I needed.
I really wish I had the picture. There was a bubble mailer with one tube of bearings, and a plastic Baggie taped to the bubble mailer on the outside with another tube of bearings. How it made the trip from HK I will never know
Found the pic
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Some further background on the Ebay purchase. The seller (qngu48332007) has a feedback count of 327 (100% positive). He was selling 3 of the same 1/8 bodies, and I purchased two of them. His stated shipping cost was $15, so when I purchased 2 I inquired about a combined shipping discount. He responded wtih $20, which I thought was a little high, but acceptable. The photo I posted shows the two bodies jammed together, but seperated by a plastic bag, absolutely no cushining material, and then wrapped in brown paper. I left him 2 neutral feedbacks, because overall the bodies arrived in ok shape (not sure how). On the first one I stated "Very poor packaging, not friendly to deal with". One the second I wrote "Shipped vintage item in brown paper - Unbelievable". I would have given negative if the damage was worse, but given the overall feedback of other buyers I cut him some slack. However, I had to give it some thought due to the negative attitude. I was surprised to see the buyer of the 3rd body left positive feedback "great ebayer, fast shipper. I imagine the body was shipped the same way, but arrived without any damage.

dangerous place is the safest place ---> dangerous method is the safest method......
The seller has contact me 2 times to request I remove the neutral/negative feedback. I reported him to the Ebay Spam. It just keeps getting better with this seller:)
This is possibly the worst packaging I've had on an ebay buy - it was bought as a well battered chassis so i wasn't too bothered but quite unbelieveably it arrived without any mail inflicted damage !..

I give you props for taking a higher road in life, but at the same time I think you've done a disservice to future bidders. I would have left him negative feedback with the same comments.

This makes me think of someone on Ebay from whom I bought some FF-01 parts (sold as "new, never used") who left me insulting comments after I left him a neutral for very bad packaging and selling broken parts (for which I got a considerable refund). So I left one final comment to his replies: "abusive seller, should have given negative."
ok guys see if this brings back any memories by chance. back in the day of vintage racing i remember buying a small bottle of oil from the lhs here in australia, see if anyone can remember the brand as i know i can't. from memory it had a needle...
