TV/Projector: All of them!

So I always get an invoice from Pilot Air for every shipment, I never open the envelope to look at them, I let my once a week bookkeeper handle that.

So today she's opening envelopes and finds a $1500 USD check. Pilot paid one of the very few claims that I'd filed. This is the shipment of 29 Barco 708 that I paid Pilot to pack. They stacked the sets 4 high, hanging off the edge of the pallets, and almost every lens got scratched due to them being scraped along something.

Woohoo, bonus money! Thumbs Up

Tell us though. Would you have made more money off those projectors if the lenses hadn't been scratched?

Nine really bad triple stacks and one bad double stack.

My guess is he is going to sell half of those for a decent price and part out the rest. $$$
