I purchased this item on Mercari about 1.2 months ago as a like-new item and used it. However, the drawstring for closing the backpack came off. It can be used again if the string is rethreaded, but I'm selling it because it's too much trouble. I cannot guarantee it will work again, but the string itself is not torn, so someone who can repair it properly should be able to use it again. To avoid any problems after purchase, please understand that this item is non-refundable and non-returnable.
