Please be advised that all elements for sale in my store are "New", new in the sense that they have never been utilized in a build, some older, rare, NOS and Q Elements may have been stored for years and moved around in bulk conditions or acquired from a large dump bin and therefore may have more wear or surface scratching than a "New" element that was produced recently and placed in a set bag. That being said if you are concerned about condition and are looking for a prestine specimen please message me first and I will do my best to relay condition via photo or video. My prices are always set at 6 month sales average when sales data is availalble, if an element has more wear than I consider to be acceptable for a "New" piece I will list as "New" and price as "Used" with a note in the comments for that listing.
