Yet you still insult me without merit .Im handicapped and have one hand so my typing is subpar.Maybe you missed the part where I said I was the top trader at futuremark first to reach over 100 +trades.I also am the troll hunter there and have resolved and recovered alot of peoples money.I ve also assisted the mods here in settling a couple of troll disputes.Yet youve done nothing but insult and show little if any respect. Ive also got 100+positive trades at ebay.Yes I took a big hit and offered a good deal because of medical emergencies ,never relized this was a bad thing.

I thought insurance is used to protect the seller/sender and not the buyer/receiver. WTF? In any case, the seller has no idea how to packing things for shipment and it's totally his fault for the damaged goods. He should've refunded you the full amount + shipping.

You having 100 trades, being a troll hunter, and helping to resolve issues has absolutely 100% nothing to do with this trade. Why you keep mentioning it is beyond me, unless you want to flex your ego.
Simply put, this trade was handled very poorly. Now that we're getting your side of the story, it's up in the air as to who really is at fault cause it's "He said, she said."

Also, please post specs of the system. If the system was really worth $1050+, then maybe the seller should have gotten all of the claim money, considering he paid for parts that were worth $1050+.

Look, the reason that people are jumping on this is because it was handled badly on both sides. I've already stated once what should have happened, but for your convenience here it is again:
You two entered into a contract whereby he agreed to purchase a system from you for $390. His duty is to provide you with $390, which he did. Your duty is to provide him with the PC described in your post. When the item arrived damaged, the buyer had upheld his end of the deal (paid the money) but he did NOT receive the item that he paid for. You are responsible for getting him his item in the described condition. That's why you purchase insurance, which you did.
Now, what should have happened is: You have the buyer take pictures of the damaged case etc. and provide you with a written statement as to the damages. Then you have him pack up the computer and ship it back to you. When you receive the computer you should verify that everything is in order then refund the buyer his money. You then file the insurance claim.
Additionally, this is what the USPS has to say about insurance: "Insure your package only for what its contents are worth; you?re only covered for the actual value at the time and place of mailing. " You GROSSLY over-valued your item, which *may* constitute fraud.
Im not trying to flex my ego but do think I deserved a little more respect from you ,than you showed with the name calling and insults.Im not blaming anyone but the post office.The buyer and I have had mostly very positive open communications.
I disagree with this part. The item was valued at $390, just because the seller may have paid more for the parts inside of it doesn't make it worth more than the selling price. It's like saying that an Xbox is worth $600 because that's how much the parts cost Microsoft, then attempting to insure it for that amount. But, I'm not the lawyer heh.
Everything was done proper regarding the buyer and seller providing pictures and reciept of the value of the items at the time the claim was filed.
I'd agree with you, except for the fact that this is an original, custom-built item. With items like these, where replacements are not easily available at the same or lower price-point, you run into problems. Even though it only cost X amount of dollars, to replace it, it may cost 5x. Which is why you have insurance on it for it's actual value.
I did most of the claim handling including appealing the first denial.If this is what you feel is fair I dont have much to say to that.
Also this was handled properly on both sides.The buyer and I the seller have had 100% open communication.Two weeks ago he asked if I could refund him his $390 and I could deal with the ins.I told him that the usps had until the 27th to decide to deny or honor the appeal claim.I also said that if they denied it,I would refund him the $390 right away. As of an hour ago I offered for him to keep $550 plus the speakers which was what I offered from the get go if the claim was honored .(he still hasnt fully agreed and feels he deserves more) I never saw this thread and was shocked it was even posted or I would of replied a long time ago. Lastly lukeman has the $1050 that usps sent him .
Then you, my good sir, might have committed fraud against the US Postal Service if you are claiming more than the fair market value of the item. There has to be some sort of law against this, otherwise you'd have all kinds of people insuring items for absurd amounts, improperly packaging them and then profiting off the claims. Of course, maybe there isn't any sort of prohibition against this, it happens all the time, and the USPS takes a bath on this fraud. It would explain why stamps cost so damn much.
I'm REALLY interested in what kind of system this was. I tried tracking the system down at the Futuremark forums, but I don't get anything in the Classified section.
If lukeman has the $1050, then isn't the claim resolved?
what's left to get approved or denied IF Lukeman has the check from USPS?
and also, IF Lukeman has the $1050, he is entitled to keep all of it because YOU said the value of the system was $1050...of course, you claiming anything otherwise would constitute fraud. Luke man does owe you the speakers if they were part of the original deal though.

Again this simply is wrong.I provided all reciepts of the value of the parts .I did not include it being a custom painted case etc.I did the claim as I was instructed by my postmaster and or the person handling claims.It was honored after apealing since my postmaster wrote a letter that he helped me pack it properly with post office materials.
Guys,

And why are you entitled to an extra $610 since you were willing to sell the system at that $610 loss?
You already have your $390.
