Thank you for viewing! This item has been carefully stored in my home's storage, so there are no noticeable scratches or stains on the packaging! Operation has been confirmed! I own a dog, and while I will take the utmost care to package the item to prevent dog hair from getting mixed in, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this. I am a beginner on Yahoo Auctions, but I will strive to respond quickly! Thank you for your understanding and consideration!!
