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).
