I've kept this carefully since I won it! I'm selling it because I don't plan to use it. Everything, including the instructions for use, is exactly as it was sent to me. The pizza stone itself has not been opened from the cardboard box and remains stored as shown in the image. I plan to ship it as is, with bubble wrap around the cardboard box. I'm sorry, but I can't offer a discount... This item has been stored at home. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item.
