After purchasing it, I used it three times and then it became a forgotten item in my dresser. When I test-cast it before listing, the DC is working. There are no noticeable scratches on the body, but there are scuff marks on the handle knob from when I replaced it. Also, since there were scratches on the cap, I have attached a cap so that they are less visible. The warranty has expired. I believe the winding feel is the same as when I first bought it, but since it is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I cannot offer any further price reductions.
