So I was laid off work a couple of months ago and made the hard decision of selling my 1/4 Shin Akuma. I decided to sell him because I knew he would bring in the most money and relatively fast. He was the first one released from PCS and the first one in my SF collection. Which not only made him valuable to others but to me sentimentally. So I took him off my shelf, listed him on eBay, packaged him up and shipped him off to a new home. Here's where destiny intervened.
I received a message from the buyer saying that Shin had arrived damaged. Which was a surprise to me because I had carefully packaged him back up and had the art box cocooned and floating inside an outer box. The buyer sent me pictures of the damage and asked me to file a claim with FedEx. As for damage it looked like his ponytail had just popped off and there wasn't any breakage. So i opened the claim and asked the buyer if she wanted a partial refund or return it for a full refund. To my surprise she wanted to return it. After two weeks of FedEx giving me the run around the buyer opened a dispute with eBay. Which was no problem since I was going to refund her regardless once I got my damaged Shin back. Three weeks after I had originally shipped Shin out he was back home and when I unpacked him my suspicions were confirmed. His ponytail had just popped out. All you had to do was stick it back in (I added glue to be safe).
So now I put him back up on the shelf and don't if I could let him go again since destiny had brought him back to me
