Ebay selling my missing amplifier

Just curious.  Did you send it to the original manufacturer?  I appreciate the concise OP but this is an interesting issue and would love some of the details.  That is a boutique manufacturer that I think only sells a few hundred of each unit for stratospheric pricing 

There seems to be a lot of hate for the OP here.  Not sure why the victim is being blamed.

  Regarding shipping companies-I am a Primary Care Physician.  I have had several FedEx, UPS, DHS drivers as patients.  Many of them are so drug addled that you wonder how they can make it out of the parking lots.  I saw one of my patients making a delivery at the clinic.  He was throwing boxes that clearly marked fragile like rag dolls in the truck.  I had just a few months previously had a turntable destroyed by UPS so I was watching him for several minutes, horrified.  When I saw him in the office a few days later and mentioned this he was dismissive”It’s all insured, man”.  I stopped trading in audio right then and there except for local pick ups
