This box set arrived on the first day of the date range promised and was just as described by the seller. I'm very persnickety about the condition of my media, whether books, magazines, music packaging, etc., and knew this set wasn't coming brand new. The glossy, four-fold, mostly black holder for the three discs and booklet showed some light fingerprint smudging, but unless you wear gloves or your hands are painfully dry, it's gonna happen. There were a couple of light smudges on the playing surface of two of the discs as well, but none of the prints were sticky or dirty. The discs were in pristine condition and neither the booklet nor the binder were dog eared, scratched or faded anywhere. The clear plastic holders affixed to the inside of the binder were like brand new and the center spokes that clip into the center of the CD were all intact. The set didn't smell of smoke or of anything in particular. The seller stated that the set was barely used and kept in a music library. The product I received bore that out. The seller gave full, accurate detail on the product and a reasonable delivery date range. I appreciated the level of detail given regarding its history of use and condition because you take a chance buying used. This seller was faithful to every expectation set up in the description and I would feel very comfortable buying from this person again-persnickety as I am! I'd recommend this seller to any of my friends.
