I kept it stored in a case. I've taken it outside less than 10 times, but I always carried it in a case, and I only took it out of the case indoors. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but please understand that this is a used item, and those seeking a pristine item should refrain from purchasing. If you don't need the box and are okay with just the parts, I will offer a 500 yen discount.
