Stored in a dark place. I will ship with measures to prevent water damage, double-layered cardboard, and bubble wrap. It will be sent via standard mail, but I can change it to Mercari delivery for an additional fee. Although it is new and unused, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about initial scratches, as it has been stored by a private individual. Instant purchase is welcome. Separate sales are negotiable. Feel free to comment if you have any questions.
