<p>Agreed!</p>
<p>TIt is time to call eBay again and this time get a full refund for stupidity and carelessness.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Idiots like that shouldn't be selling if they cannot pack accordingly</p>
<p>My friend bought a Lunar from the UK</p>
<p>It arrived last week with a wet box- UGH! </p>

<p>The good news: its definitely a blue/white giant and it came with an original top! </p>
<p>The bad news: the base came a little more dinged up than the seller showed in his photographs, and is surely more damaged than the "few dents that can definitely be hammered out" that he mentioned in the description. The globes is badly scratched in a few locations, and there is a slight leak from the seal on the top. On top of it all, the lamp is extremely cloudy from shipping. Its a project lamp for sure....</p>

<p>Indeed, looks like an inexperienced seller who didn't realize how much it actually costs to ship something like this. But, unless you're <em>really</em> worried about losing the lamp, I still recommend just opening a case with Ebay.</p>
<p>It took this seller 10 days just to ask for more money to ship. I'm not sure it's worth finding out what happens if you <em>do</em> send the seller more money.</p>
