Ok, you found that great deal on a nice old guitar. Do not assume it will be packaged correctly for safe delivery. Wrapping a guitar in bubble wrap and a layer of cardboard without even so much as a 'Fragile' or 'Do Not Bend' written on it is not uncommon and even though some shipping services offer insurance it's no fun trying to collect on a broken guitar because it was not packed correctly. Insist on a heavy guitar box, easily picked up at any music store, and asked that it be fully insured and marked with what it is and how it should be handled, remember, even sellers with great feedback may never have dealt with shipping guitars. Good luck!
