I purchased this directly from the C Company official website two years ago and used it for about three weeks in total before storing it in a dark place. I am selling it because my interest in stationery has waned. While there are no visible scratches on the surface, the right pocket is stained with lead and ink from a mechanical pencil and ballpoint pen, as shown in the fourth photo. The left pocket shows little to no staining, as I kept erasers and rulers in it. The included Zoom 707 (0.5mm mechanical pencil) was used with the Lupo pen case, but I have also stored it in a dark place since I stopped using the Lupo pen case.
