I bought two from them.  The "box damage" consists of just a little fraying of
the corners:  shelfwear that only a fanatical "investment" collector would
complain about.

The bad news is that it costs about US$25 to ship one to the States,  or about
US$40 to ship two.  And they arrived only a day or two short of a full month
after I ordered them,  rather than the advertised 10-15 days.

It's still a heck of a deal,  though,  and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from
them again,  as long as I wasn't in a hurry.  And,  in fact,  I probably will:
I succeeded in getting a swap for a Shuttle,  and I may just buy a couple
more,  to have on hand to swap for the post-Christmas clearance goodies that
I don't find before someone else snaps them up  ;-)

(btw,  it may be worth watching the trends in the currency markets when
deciding about buying:  the price in US$ has come down about 10% since I
bought,  even though it's the same in FF).
