Thanks goes to IntoAnother and Joey Gunz for the heads up that the lost #1 SS 9.8 I had sold to Joe appeared on ebay this morning.
Long story shortish: I bought it from JJeanius, and sold it to Joe, shipped via UPS, who lost it. It made its way to UPS Overgoods (Lost and Found) in Salt Lake City. Against their standard policy is was sold to a third party salvage company that buys lost/damaged packages, and then resold to the person who has it on ebay, all in less than 3 weeks. I contacted the ebay seller and he has been great and is going to end the auction and return it for a refund to the salvage company who will return it to me. This is great because UPS was going to deny my claim because the driver never scanned the package upon pickup.
Thank you Joey Gunz, IntoAnother, JJeanius. Boardies on the up and up. UPS in the dog house.
Package shipped, lost, sent to overgoods, sold as salvage, resold, all in less than 3 weeks while doing 3 days overgoods search for it. Beware.
Sidebar: Joey already picked up another #1 at this point, so if I get it back next week................. keep it?
