Brand New - This item was imported by us and has never left our warehouse.  Why is this important?  It has been brought to our attention that a number of items that are being sold as new, are not new!    As a factory authorized importer with 40 years in the business, we are obligated to declare the true condition of any item we offer for sale. Ask the vendor where he obtained the model.  Some items sold for new are purchased from individuals and collections rather than directly from the manufacturer and by definition are not considered new..

US Buyers, this model is here in the USA and does not require paying high shipping rates from Overseas.  There are no customs charges to worry about or delays.  You do not have to deal with an overseas supplier should something go wrong. No long distance and costly returns. 

International Buyers ? Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.  These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
