I bought a pretty nice Yamaha classical guitar that way.....and an absolutely spectacular dulcimer. I think those auctions were the reason UPS became more popular as a way to mail packages.
I think "repurposed" is the operative word as well. Even if they have an idea of what it is/worth, they'll have a hard time selling it, we all know who each other is and the word is out.
UPS ought to change their process so that you don't have to plainly write the value of something on a shipping label. Speaking of acoustics, I've been debating selling my Taylor 814ce, it's a '96, I prefer a parlor sized guitar nowadays.

Just let them know there's a problem with the delivery.
Yup, fingers crossed.
