You shouldn't expect anyone selling scrap lots of computer parts to pack them to prevent them from getting damaged. The whole point of making a bulk lot and labeling it as scrap is to save on packing time and material and to not have to accept returns when half the parts don't work when they arrive because theya re being sold as junk to begin with. That's the reason why so many sellers are selling as-is, untested, scrap, junk, non-functioning, or as a collectible now. They don't have to deal with with returns when what they sell breaks and they can make a case against ebay if they force a refund even though the listing said it didn't work all along.
It wasnt sold as scrap though but as 11 AGP cards tested and working + 20 or so untested cards.
But the seller seemed dodgy so my expectations wasnt high.
I did also find a PCI SCSI card and a MPEG decoding card in the box along with some useless TV-cards.
I have tested the Radeon 9600 PRO for my benching project and at least this cards works flawlessly altough it looks somewhat roughed up.
