THIS SNOOPY TOY IS NEW IN BOX. I HAVE TAKEN IT OUT OF THE BOX TO CLEAN THE GEARS OF HARDENED GREASE THAT WAS PUT ON THEM BACK IN 1972. I HAVE APPLIED THE PROPER PLASTIC GEAR GREASE AND SPRAYED THE MOTOR WITH ELECTRICAL CLEANER. THE TOY WORKS GREAT. ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS SIMPLE,  SLIGHTLY SQUEEZE THE HULL WHERE THE TABS ARE AND IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO PUT IN TWO AA BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. SNOOPY MOVES BACK AND FORTH MOVING THE OARS WHILE DOING SO. WILL BE WELL PACKAGED AND INSURED FOR DELIVERY.  THANK YOU !! COMBINED SHIPPING AVAILABLE.
