Emailed him and sent out a money order on Jul 1. Never got any kind of reply email reply or shipping notification, but today I recieved the discs.
Discs are mostly in good shape. One disc has a nick on the edge, and most of them are a little scuffed up, but they look like they will all play ok, at least on my good player. But for $3.50 to $5.50 per disc, that's reasonable.
But I'll let you be the judge about the packing. It's amazing they arrived in good shape. 20 discs in a box that's not any bigger than the disks themselves. Actually it's not even a box, it's 3 random pieces of cardboard very loosely taped together. The mailman had set it standing on edge on my stone tiled front entrance. He must have done that ususually gingerly for the edges not to be all banged up. The edges of some of the covers are split where the disc punched through, but only the same way many ld covers are. Perfectly in line with discs sold for $3.50 to $5.50 each. So, I actually can not say these seffered any shipping damage for sure. I'm just amazed that they didn't.
It's also just pure luck that it didn't rain today.
No protection from wet at all.
Could have beed 20 damaged covers.
All in all, I lucked out. I significantly fleshed out my aim to get all available Babylon 5 discs, and for very cheap, and the delivery time wasn't even bad if you overlook the first few weeks of communication mis-haps on both our parts. So in that sense, the transaction was good.
But I personally am not buying from this person again.
