I'd bought a piece of retro hardware on ebay and the guy called me up. He said he was passing through my area and asked if he could just drop it off.

Surprise, surprise. 😮

Sounds kind of weird to me actually.

This happends to me several times each year.

I live in a city in the middle of Sweden that you pass when going from Stockholm to the other large (for Sweden) cities in the south. Sometimes when I have bought something heavy the seller will tell me that he will pass through some weeks later and I get free shipping.
