Most sellers would just ship it as they originally had planned to, and you would have received a box full of parts.

I definitely agree. I will certainly use more foresight next time when I plan on buying something far away. anyways, I just spoke on the phone with the seller and he is up for the project of disassembling it. He is even going to separate the CRT with the pictures provided and he got a bunch of scrap foam from a shop nearby so that will help with packaging. thanks a lot for the input once again, and lets hope I will be posting pictures of an INTACT set
