This item was purchased new. The game cartridge has only been touched when swapping it out (once) and has had very little play time, so it is listed as "Like New." The case is also in beautiful condition with no scratches or stains, but there are a few minor initial scratches that are only noticeable upon close inspection (you can see them if you look closely), so please refrain from purchasing if you are very particular about condition. *Operation confirmed (January 2025) It will be shipped in bubble wrap and an envelope. Price is not negotiable.
