That's pretty f'd up in my book. That's not a 100% working. Sorry this happened to you. Always better to see games in person. Things can happen in transport, but diodes just don't fall off. You could shame the person publicly, but that always turns out messy. Cheap fix and learning experience people suck.

Tried to warn you on post #3 this always gets messy. When you point a finger at someone 3 are pointing back at you. Transporting things is always a gamble. I try to leave my games alone. I have picked up a game and driven 40 miles and had problems,as well as picked up games and drivin 400 miles and no issues. Six weeks is a long time to wait to contact someone. I would probably feel like you messed it up and were trying to take advantage of me to pay for it. A lot of good info people have posted. Good luck with this addiction. You will find when the fever for a game is high your brain will miss stuff in pictures or descriptions even. Live long and play hard my friend.
