I purchased this item some time ago and used it a few times, then stored it at home. I've decided to sell it since I won't be using it anymore. I don't think there are any major scratches, but I've taken photos (images 5 and 6) to show some minor scratches from use. However, I don't believe they will affect its functionality. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition, as this is a used item. Also, please make your purchase only after you are satisfied with the item's condition.
