What to do now?

So recently I put in my Haribo order with OcUK and with it they sent a Silverstone TJ11 (or maybe that was the other way around?).

Anyway, the point is, having thought about it I'm not sure that I actually want the TJ11. I've realised (some would argue, a bit late) that I don't really like anything about the TJ11.

So before I open the box, I'm trying to figure out what I should do. It's big and heavy so DSR would cost a fortune. So would I be better off trying to sell it locally? But the issue then is that I have no idea who would want to buy it.

What are my options that will reduce the amount of money I've lost on this case?

I'd like to get the CaseLabs STH10 instead, but I suspect this will be too large, so may have to go with the XSPC H1 Cube+ (which will at least be cheaper).

I don't understand how you could order a £500 case without measuring and looking at a thousand reviews. Half a grand is a huge amount to dump on something you are not 100% sure on.

DSR is your best option, I doubt you'll find a buyer quickly.

Take the hit with DSR and posting it back. You'll never get anywhere near that amount trying to sell it locally with pick up unless you're very very lucky.

Stick it on the MM quickly (collection only) if it doesn't sell within 14days (from when it arrived), then DSR it back ?

I did measure, the TJ11 will fit fine and I did look at reviews. That's what made me buy it in the first place.
My big problem with it is the lack of space inside, I've been thinking about where to put stuff and I don't think the stuff I want will fit.

I think DSR is likely to cost ~£35

I guess option number 3 is to keep it and try to make do with it the best I can.

I think you guys are right about not being able to sell it quickly. There's already one on the MM.

I'm just worried about sending it back and getting the XSPC H1 Cube+ and then finding that it was just 'grass is greener' syndrome that made me think I wanted the XSPC more.
