 Re: Is this any way to ship a clarinet?

I try to follow something I heard a long time ago- "Never ascribe to malice what is explainable by ignorance". That's one of many versions of "Hanlon's razor". I'm better at it some times than others.

And on plenty of occasions I'm the one in oblivious ignorance and in need of other folks to cut me some slack.

And I'm sure sometimes that I think I'm following Hanlon's principal- really I'm the one in ignorance. It all happens in life.

I find the auction site to be several notches above the old classified ad days, or purchases even in person at pawn shops, swap meets, and such. There is a degree of security that makes it often possible to recover from a bad deal- which makes it easier to try iffy deals that otherwise would look too risky but turn out to be great. In my 1000+ transactions I've really only been burned a couple of times either as buyer or seller- infrequently enough to stand out as anomalies.
