Fluorescent tubes with mouldy box

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Fluorescent tubes with mouldy box

The box is covered in mould. I bet it stinks! The tubes looks fine though.

More than I'd pay for those in perfect condition. Seller should have left the pic of the box out entirely, but there we go. I pay a lot less than that for those in a nice shiny new box!

I need some more Philips 8w tubes but I'm not paying for shite like that. Where's the best place for new Philips tubes?

I have a trade account, I think anyone can set one up tho. Worst case, I can always add some to my next order.
