As with all items I have for sale, this item was purchased by my mother-in-law and passed down to us as a part of her estate. She had a bit of a QVC/HSN habit, so most of our items have never been used. They have, however, been in a basement for years and often the box is worn or damaged looking. Rest assured, I have removed and inspected the items before posting for sale, then repackaged in original shipping materials.  Despite being like new, never used, I am pricing these as I would a used item.
