I cannot remember exactly why I originally purchased this, but after hooking it up to a Pi once, it went back into its box. I pulled it out to take the pictures and that's the extent of the handling its had. It still has the protective film on it.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
NOTE: This is from a non-smoking household and was never stored outdoors (like in a garage or anything like that), no weird smells.
