[GreenKeys] ASR 33 on eBay

[UEOGUY]

Lee's Law is darn near one of the constants in the universe.  With my experience
there is a way to "potentially" limit the damage, but it requires some intelligence
on the sender/packer, to disassemble the unit into "lighter" pieces, and send 
them in separate boxes, well packed.  The shipper is less likely to push the 
boxes off the truck, and even if they do, being well packed, and a lighter in weight,
the damage should be minimal.  Now it costs more to ship separate boxes, but if 
you want or need the item, and it's 2000 miles away, it's probably the only way to
get it.  For example, a Model 15, could be broken down, into the base, the typing 
unit, keyboard, and cover, (with copy window removed).  ASR's, any model, are 
just too big to ship, except freight, which is just too expensive!

I did talk to one ebay seller, that blesses each box with Holy Water, before shipping.

Whatever it takes!
Just Bob!
