I purchased this over 20 years ago, but I've only used it for fishing once or twice. It's been stored in a warehouse for most of that time. Although not shown in the third photo, there was a string connecting the lid and the main body, but it broke due to aging. Also, the cushion protecting the rod has deteriorated, as shown in the fourth photo. I can add more photos if you want to see any other areas. I will ship it wrapped only in bubble wrap. I don't plan to put it in a cardboard box. Please refrain from price negotiations.
