This is a brand new, unused item. The item is handled and stored with care. After taking photos, it is placed in a bag and stored in a cool, dark place. This item was displayed in a store. I have chosen items with as few scratches as possible, but please understand that there may be minor, barely noticeable scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this. I will pack the item with cushioning material to prevent scratches before shipping. I will pack and ship the item with care so that you can receive it in the best possible condition m(_ _)m
