Ok, Around the middle of December I bought a MP3 player online,not on Ebay.I recieved the Mp3 player just after Christmas.Everything was fine,I gave the seller a positive rating.The Auction said it had an armband,and and a neck strap.They weren't there,but no biggie.

The person got it off some surplus website,it came from a different location.I think it's sort of like SMC,the thing Tom Bosley does info-mercials about,something like that.

Today there was a package at my front door,when I came home for lunch.It was from the company that sent the player,not the seller.I thought maybe it was the armband,and neck strap,maybe a different CD software.It was another MP3 player,it has the same memory,but it has a rubber coating,and the armband,neckstrap,everything that was listed in the auction,a slightly nicer model.

I checked Paypal to see if i had been charged for 2 mp3 players,I checked my bank account...the same $2.12 in there.I checked all my email addresses to see if I had gotten a email from someone.Nope...

I'm torn between,doing the right thing,and being a smuck.Sending the seller an Email,ETc,Etc.

Or keep the Mp3 player see if anyone contacts me about it.I have a feeling this will come back and bite me on the ass.

So do I keep the MP3 player?
any suggestions?

Well...I'm a bit of a boy scout, so I'd say send it back, or at least inquire.  I would imagine you're going to hear from someone in the near future, anyway.

You paid for the arm band, etc.  I would contact the person that sent you the second one and ask them what you should do with it.  Chances are better than not they'll tell you to keep it and enjoy.

I am big on Karma.....I would at least let them know of their mistake. If they tell you to keep it then great if not and they want it back than you will know that you did the right thing!!!!!

I'd let them know that you received a second one and tell them you'll swap the second one for the armband and neckstrap that were missing from the first one.

I started doing a little investigating...(being a private investigator).I bought it exactly 1 month ago today,I noticed that the Shipping invioce that came on my MP3 player was a photocopy of an invioce.The MP3 player that came today,is the orginal invoice.They all have UPC barcodes and such.My Mp3 player came DHL,the one that came today was US mail.I don't think he (the Seller) was double charged.

So,I think I'm going to send them an email.

Keep 'em both!  
If they contact you about it, send it back.  It's not like someone lost it,  whatever B, keep it.  Or, you can always send it to me!   Wink

PUSSIES ALL OF YOU!!!

when you get something like that it's an unexpected surprise....in this situation you didn't do ANYTHING (bad, good, or otherwise) to get that extra player...i wouldnt think kthe whole karma situation would apply here, it was THEIR  bad.  i would chalk it up to a good bounce of the ball and keep it!  i would just wait like 2 months before i start using it tho just in case they catch their error.  but if they don't get at you within 2 months its history....
