COLLECTOR BUYS LOOSE FIGURE ON EBAY, RECEIVES IT MINT IN BOX… THREATENS TO SUE!!

HORROR NEWS:

COLLECTOR BUYS LOOSE FIGURE ON EBAY, RECEIVES IT MINT IN BOX… THREATENS TO SUE!!

A horrible situation, with no precedent, happened to Steve, an action figure collector from Florida. Steve ordered an action figure loose (lingo for “outside of the packaging”, “opened”), and to his disgust, he received that figure mint in box (or “unopened”). Here is Steve’s reaction:

“I am emotionally and physically drained, I feel betrayed and sick to my stomach. I ordered this figure loose, because I already have it in box. I don’t want to open it. I ordered a figure loose, so that I can display it next to the boxed one, and now, I end up with 2 boxed ones. What do I do with 2 boxed ones?? This is NOT what I wanted. I have contacted my lawyer.”

ToyFarce contacted the seller to understand what happened, who just wanted to please his customer. “I thought he would be happy. I found one at the store for the same price, so I thought I would send him a brand new one, in box, instead of the loose one… I just wanted to be nice.”

UPDATE: ToyFarce heard from Steve’s lawyers that an agreement has been reached, and Steve will send the figure back to the seller, who will then open it, and send it back. We are glad this issue could be resolved amicably.
