Thank you for looking. I purchased this here and used it for about 3-4 months. I have confirmed that it works with batteries, but I am not including batteries. (Requires 3 AA batteries) I will pack it in its original box and ship it so it won't get wet. (The original box has tears and stains.) This is a used item stored at home and inspected by an amateur. I hope that those who understand used items will consider purchasing it. Thank you very much.
