Need some help from you guys. I bought Streak (BT-03) a while back and it just recently came in. The packing box was smashed and the actual TF box is damaged as well but the TF itself it good. I emailed the guy stating that the box was heavily damaged and he's giving me an option of a full refund if I return the item, or a partial refund and keep it. He can't send me a new one as he doesn't have any available. I really wanted a mint box item for my collection so I was thinking of just opening this one and just get a new one (and take the partial refund) or should I send it back and get a full refund?
BTW for you guys that are still buying TF's online at this time. Be weary that it is close to the holiday season and there will a lot more packages being delivered so you might have the same scenario as I did. The guy that sold me this TF packaged it really well but the lovely folks at USPS decided to bury my package under a lot of heavier boxes and crush it to high heaven. So if you guys are looking for mint or near mint condition boxes, you might want to wait til the holidays are over to avoid the same incident.

Oh man, is that the same one that I forgot to bid on? That sucks
How much will it cost you to send back, and how much would it end up costing you if you take the partial refund? If you just want an all misb collection, then I'd say get the full refund. If you want something to play with as well, then take the partial refund.
