Seller said the Amp was in good shape, and I trust people at their word.  I have bought and sold parts via eBay &#8211; I sold a pair of Triumph motorcycle forks, and a pair of JBL 4312 speakers &#8211; big heavy things, I padded and packed them tightly and they got to the buy on the west coast just fine.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the Crown amp arrived a few weeks later, I was just amazed. Somehow the seller decided to use a box for a DELL flatscreen monitor and the original white foam for the monitor as packing material for the heavy amp. As you can see in the pictures, this didn&#8217;t fill the box and there was no extra foam\/ bubblepack or anything to hold the amp in place. It must have bounced all over the place because it broke up the foam and bashed a hole in the package. Thats not UPS&#8217;s fault &#8211; its the seller&#8217;s fault for doing such a poor job of packing.\n<\/p>\n<p> I hooked the amp up to my speakers and it works fine, but I give all the credit to Crown for making a bulletproof amp, not to this yahoo seller who apparently just used his old computer trash\/packing to ship a $130 amp!
