Never mind on the running. I compared boxes and narrowed down the "anti-fishing" boxes that prevent people pulling mail out of the slot—it really comes down to one manufacturer. Then to find the best price and size. SO, eBay has one that is $25 less, is new, is the style and color I want to buy, and fingers crossed there can't be much wrong with a steel box they ship. eBay has a money back policy even if the seller doesn't (I am also cautious about a generous return policy - I don't need to pay someone else's shipping so they can try on something and send it back.) Mailboxes are less problematic than vintage electronic items. And a cost-saving note: that CapitalOne Shopping app (a Chrome browser extension) pointed me to the eBay site and gave another $12 in a coupon they shared. So, it's a good deal.

Earworm alert: As I was scrolling through YouTube review and unpacking videos to get a better look at mailboxes, music videos were suggested alongside. Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" is looping through my head now. I love it, but now to shake it loose.
