I purchased this new and used it as a hobby. I've run out of space to keep the mixer at home, and although I stored it after throwing away the box, I've decided to sell it since I'm not using it anymore. As time has passed, the inside of the crossfader isn't as shiny as shown in the close-up photos. The sliding action is a bit stiff, but I think it can be maintained. When I was using it, I always kept it in its box, and otherwise, I stored it in a plastic case. It's currently without a box, but I've kept it in a non-woven fabric bag and stored it in a drawer, so there's no mold or dust. If you have a place to put it or practice, you can connect it and enjoy the bass even when just listening to music, so it should be fun even if you don't DJ.
