I kept this item stored in a dark place after purchasing it. It is new and unopened, but please consider that it has been stored by a private individual before purchasing. There is a dent on a part of the box (see photo 2). I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it via Yu-Packet Post Mini. I am selling two of these items, so please let me know if you would like to purchase both. I will offer a small discount in that case. I will also change the shipping method then.
