I've had two sad experiences recently with the unusual packing techniques employed by sellers of second-hand Oakley goods:
I bought a "never used" white soft Vault that looked pristine in the photos, but the seller dropped it into a box filled with what looked like a whole Sunday-edition's worth of crumpled-up newspaper pages, then shipped it across the country to me. I'm still trying to get all the ink off of that grey Vault ...
The experience that made me cry was the Timebomb that looked good in the photos and even had both of the impossible-to-replace bracelet pads intact. To ship it, the seller simply placed it in a small USPS Priority box with no padding! The watch actually came through OK, but one of the bracelet pads had disintegrated in shipment. The other one looked intact, until I lifted the watch out of the box, when the remaining bracelet pad crumbled in my hands. But the watch works great!
