Condition:

Near Mint condition and very lightly used, in its original Apple inner wrapper. The original Apple box and Apple accessories are in Mint condition. This unit has always been kept in secure and discrete storage free of cigarette smoke, pet hair and food smells in the tranquil mediterranean climate of southern California free from extreme hot or cold temperatures. The result of all these years of diligent safekeeping of this extraordinary piece of Apple history is a vintage Apple gem that is truly in exceptional condition. See the extensive gallery collection of this vintage gem for exact condition details.

Often, when one buys vintage sealed electronics from amateur sellers, there are significant blemishes, scrapes, dings, discoloration, and sometimes also, subtle foul smells of cigarette smoke, food or pets on the item. Often amateur sellers also don't keep their vintage collections in a climate that is free from extremes of heat or cold so over time being exposed to these kind of climate extremes the electronics inside become damaged. Additionally, amateur sellers don't have professional boxing/packaging skills and often don't bother to insure their deliveries, the result is deliveries sent via cheap USPS options (instead of secure FedEx or UPS delivery), and items arriving damaged with no recourse to be compensated for the damaged collectable. And of course amateur sellers offer no returns on their vintage items...
