Friends in basketball,
I have a series of gift cards with under a dollar left on the balance ... one of my sub-hobbies is seeing whether I can find cheap PC cards on eBay rather than letting those small balances go un-used.
So in early November I won a 2006-07 Topps base card of Kevin Garnett for 55 cents, shipped. The seller shipped in a PWE on November 8 but did not use any kind of tracking.
After three weeks and no card, we agreed on a refund.
(My previous record between purchase and receiving a PWE card was 17 days, so I thought I was clear to ask for a refund after a solid 21 days.)
Lo and behold, guess what showed up today - 30 days out! - my Garnett card.
I have already re-sent the seller his money.
That is a new record for me.
