I purchased this at Disneyland. I've used it a few times. There are no particularly noticeable scratches or stains, but one side of the clip moves slightly. It should be fine unless you touch it, but I'm not sure if it will slip when actually attached to your hair. Due to the difference in the left and right sides and the distortion, I'm offering it at a low price. Please purchase only if you understand. Also, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored by a non-professional. Thank you very much. (^^)
