UPS just delivered a mobile P3 I bought from someone on ebay...I wondered why the box was so heavy relative to what a plain cpu weighs...

wtf?

I'd send an email to the seller, he may have gotten confused while packing and sent it to the wrong person (which is why I always pack beforehand and don't combine shipments).

Now the question is:

Do I email him:
a) ...asking wtf?
b) ...thanking him for the additional bonus?
c) ...not mentioning it at all?

Must've been an accident. Now you can hold his balms for ransom.

Hehe, "balms."

Well that is really odd then. I mean, there's no reason for him to think a person buying a P3 would want shaving balm. I could understand the attempted multiple auctions mix up...but it doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe he auctions on another site?

Or maybe it was a gift box that he used to ship it and he just didn't remember to take the gift out? Thats a stretch, but could happen if you were in a hurry.

lol, well I appreciate the gift ;) The box looks clean/unused (no other labels or printing on it), and he packed with clear air packs, so it would have been easy to see, not to mention the weight compared to just the box or cpu...

I sent him an email
