    what could be in this large box

    Answer: 80% air and this disk player tumbling around inside it. I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE SOME PEOPLES HEADS.

    Their heads are 80% air, likely.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Those boxes are normally full of styrofoam peanuts that I then spend hours trying to clear up. Hate them almost as much as I hate glitter. That’s actually not true, I hate glitter far more.

    I would have preferred seeing the packing peanuts. I dont know how but the disk player is unharmed.

    Finding proper-sized boxes can be very difficult (sadly) for a private seller. E.g. try finding a properly-sized outer box to fit around an Alden, Trickers, or other "nice" brand shoe box. There's lots of 6x6x6 and 14x14x14 square boxes and similar but far fewer rectangular-shaped boxes. And many private sellers would rather reuse a rickety old box to save a few bucks.
