Sell the DVD, either with or without the damaged tin, on eBay b.) Buy another Mickey BW 2 DVD on eBay c.) Shell out $24.99 plus tax at Fry's. d.) Sell the DVD to any of YOU e.) Keep the DVD and try to repair the tin as best I can.

I hate the tins. They add nothing to the content of the discs, and they don't fit on my DVD shelves, so I have them, empty, in a box in a closet. But I still can't bring myself to part with them.

Originally Posted By avromark That said none of my tins looked like that. Did you try contacting the seller? Is all you got from the post office a "Sorry" sticker? I'd be a bit peaved as well. Keeping in mind I may be a bit restrained on what I just typed. Fry's price doesn't seem to bad and you can actually see the tin. You could always try selling or gifting the other copy. But I'd be even more pissed if my DVD's are dead. Only 2 of mine have the band still btw.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I did contact the seller, but no response yet. I found it odd that they're based in PA, but the package came from MN...of course, that could mean anything. And yes, all I got from the post office was the Apology Wrapping. I looked at the box again, and they did stamp "Damaged Upon Receival" or something like that on it. The tin and DVDs are currently on my desk right now, as I showed a few of my coworkers; they were surprised to see how bad the tin is.

Originally Posted By ajnhollysmommy LOL - I would not offer it up to you if I wanted it. I really dont care if I have it or not, I put them all away because the kids trash them. Its not in perfect conditon but its better then the one you have.
