I bought this for a Christmas tree, but it hasn't been used, so I'm selling it. It was new and unopened, but I opened it to check the condition of the item and to test if it lights up properly. Please check the photos. I will remove the batteries before shipping. Batteries are not included. This is a used item, so please purchase with understanding. As it has been stored at home, those who are concerned about even the slightest imperfection, please refrain from purchasing. I apologize. I ask for purchases from those who understand.
