By the time you received the Qiagen package from USPS, the product inside has already been spoiled. We (research lab) order kits from Qiagens and they're usually delivered over night and stored at below room temperature (the fridge). What you have in your hands is a box of garbage.

Ps. Research labs don't buy kits from ebay.

not all kits are stored cold. my lab had all our qiagen's at RT.

i'd try and sell it on ebay... i think those kits aren't cheap. couple hundred dollars each. although yeah, labs use PO's to buy these kits so chances of selling these are slim.

although, it's weird that USPS ships it. usually it's fedex, UPS or DHL.
