KUMON E-pencil I purchased this new at a Kumon classroom about three years ago and used it for about one and a half to two years. The pencil itself seems to be clean with no noticeable scratches, but the case (bag) has stains in two places as shown in the images on page 5. This item has been used by a child, so please purchase only if you understand this. I have confirmed that it works with new batteries, but I will remove the batteries before shipping. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. Thank you.
