I bought this for a Christmas tree, but I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to use it. It was new and unopened, but I opened it to check the condition of the product and tested if it lights up properly. Please check the photos. I will remove the batteries before shipping. Batteries are not included. This is a used item, so please purchase with understanding. As it is stored at home, please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned. Thank you for your understanding.
