    Excellent condition, excellent price, exactly what I ordered. High quality and appearance. The seller answered my question immediately, and I bought it soon thereafter. It was shipped quickly, taking less time than I thought it would, or even than the website said. All in all, this was an excellent experience. This seller is one of the good ones.
