I purchased this item new. While there are no major scratches or damage, there are a few minor scratches. The sponge is not worn out, and I think the condition is quite good. My child used this for BMX. I would like you to purchase this item with the understanding of its current condition. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have(^^) I plan to put it in a pre-made non-woven fabric bag and ship it in a simple package, in a cardboard box. I am also selling other items, such as protectors and a bike travel bag.
