mint condition
pal, you'd do well to be very careful about some of those
allegedly 'mint' voyagers out there. no names given, but
i know about some guy who posts frequently to the adds
section in this museum and announces mint items which
are nothing but doctored calcs, and poorly done at that.
he recently offered a completely 'new in the box' 15c for nearly $300 to some poor chap asking for one to complete his collection, and then,
after many months, delivered one with a badly glued logo,
the glue spilling over the display, ruining it, and acetone stains here and there from pathetically trying to remove surplus glue and scratches. the manual was abused and cracked and the box was crap. perhaps that was his very own concept of 'new' or else he thought the $300 sucker wouldn't notice. seeya
