Pete S Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Anyone beat this? Won a pile of 250 singles on december 12th. Seller said they'd pay postage, I told them it would be expensive but they said it was ok. When they find out how much postage is, they ask me to pay $50 towards it, so I did, and then they sent them - by surface mail. Anyway, package finally turned up today, I eagerly opened it to be confronted by some kind of computer monitor, a crappy old dressing gown and a pair of fluffy slippers. Underneat the address label was the real addressees details - care of a correctional facility in New York state. Anybody want to buy a pair of slippers??? (the records are lost forever, obviously)
