I got this microscope at a swap meet and have never personally used it. I don't have a way of testing it so I'm selling it as untested for parts or not working. Its missing the eye piece. It may have other missing, damaged or broken parts or pieces. Its dirty and could use a good cleaning. As far as condition goes the pics say it all so zoom in and take a closer look. Please read the following statement and paragraphs below: I purchase items from estate sales, garage sales, yard sales, moving sales, swap meets, antique stores, auctions, etc. My goal is to buy large quantities of items at good prices to be able to offer my buyers these items at fair prices. I have never personally used most of the items I sell. I'm not an expert on the items I sell: I know very little about most of the items I sell so most of them are being sold as untested. My goal is to put these items in the correct category and get them in front of buyers who are interested in them and who know more about them than I do. If you see an item you're interested in please understand that I'm not an expert on the item and you probably know a lot more about it than me so take a good look at the pics to see exactly what you're going to get. Item condition: Since I'm not an expert on most of the items I sell I might not notice if something is missing, damaged or broken simply because I'm not familiar with the item. Its up to the buyer to look at the pics to see if anything is missing, damaged or broken. I keep my descriptions of each item short and don't have time to mention every little detail of each individual item. Its up to the buyer to look at the pics to see if anything is missing, damaged, broken, chipped, scratched, cracked, shattered, dented, dinged, rusted, dusty, ripped, torn, stained, etc.  Testing items: Most of the items I sell are untested. Generally I don't test items before I sell them. Many perspective buyers write me long emails with long lists of things they want me to do to test an item. This is a waste of their time. The good news is that because I'm selling an item as untested there's a very good chance that you'll get it cheaper than if I did extensive testing and sold it as fully functional. If you want me to test something real simple and it takes me less than a minute I may be willing to do it. Just don't waste your time sending me a long list of things you want me to do because it won't be done. Items are as pictured: A lot of the items I sell are dusty, dirty, oily, sticky, greasy, rusty, etc. I don't clean any of these items before shipping so you'll receive them exactly like you see them in the pics. Some of the items I sell have odors, I buy stuff out of old houses and in old dusty dirty garages. If you're concerned about odors feel free to ask. I sell too many items to describe each item down to the finest, smallest detail so if it seems like I've overlooked something it isn't intentional. If you're interested in an item I'm selling please remember that you probably know more about it than me so take a good look at the pics to see exactly what you'll be getting. eBay's definition of used and my definition of used: - Here's eBay's definition of used - "An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections." Some buyers have pointed out to me that in eBay's definition of used it says the item is "fully operational and functions as intended" and have insisted that because I listed an item as "Used" it must be free of any imperfections and work perfectly. In eBay's definition of used it also says "See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections." So when I list an item as "Used" it's important that you read my description and what I say about the item. You also need to look at the pictures to see any imperfections. You have already read the section that says I'm not an expert on the items I sell and most of the items I sell being untested. Disclaimer: Many items may have flaws or defects that keep them from being "fully operational" and "functioning as intended" but I will still list them as "Used". Shipping: I mostly offer flat shipping rates. I may choose to remove parts or pieces of an item to make it more compact for shipping purposes. For instance if I'm shipping a tool with a long handle I will usually remove the handle to make it fit in a more compact box. You will get all the parts and pieces you paid for but sometimes a lot of money can be saved by making an item more compact to fit in a smaller box. If I'm shipping electronics sometimes I'll unplug the power cord so I can wrap the item with bubble wrap without smashing the end of the cord. When shipping large oversized items I may send two separate packages rather than one huge package to avoid oversize shipping charges. I always try to make the best decisions possible to get the item to you without damage while keeping the shipping within budget or close to it.  Shipping Requests: If you have a special shipping request make sure you tell me before you pay for it or right after you pay for it. Don't wait too long because sometimes I will pack the item immediately after its paid for. If you request double boxing or two inches of packing between boxes or additional bubble wrap and packing paper that add to the size of the package and expense of what I've estimated you will need to be prepared to pay extra. Extra size plus extra weight equals extra cost. If you have requests that require extra time to package then you will need to be prepared to pay extra. Some of the requests I've gotten in the past have made the cost of shipping and materials go $25.00 or more over and beyond what I've estimated and I can't absorb those extra costs. If you want me to send you a tea cup in a piano box I will as long as you're willing to pay for the additional size, weight, material and time. If I send the package my way there is no additional cost to you. If you request that I send it your way you will need to pay for all additional costs (including shipping fees, time (my time is estimated at $60.00 per hour) and materials (bubble wrap, packing peanuts, paper, cardboard, etc.) over and above the flat rate cost that I'm charging. Shipping Damage:  Many of the items I sell have damaged areas before I ship them. Please make note of these by looking closely at the pictures in advance so you can see if any additional damage is done during shipping. Occasionally items get damaged no matter how well they're packed. If an item arrives damaged make sure you compare it to the pictures on the posting before contacting me to see if the damage was already there or if additional damage was done during shipping. If you contact me to tell me an item is damaged I will request that you send at least 4 pictures. One wide shot showing the entire item with the damaged area and three close ups at different angles. If the box was damaged take a picture of it before you open it and save all packing materials. The shipping company may request to see the packaging if we need to file a claim. Returns: Most items I sell are 14 days money back, buyer pays return shipping. Some items may be different so make sure you read the return policy for the item you're interested in. Communication: I prefer to communicate through eBay's message system rather than through personal emails, texts or phone calls. This is so that eBay will have access to our interaction if necessary. This is for your benefit and mine. I will very rarely ever respond to a request to call. If you send me your phone number make sure you give me a good reason to call. I've had people in the past request that I call them only so that they could give me a low ball offer over the phone and this type of thing is a waste of my time and theirs.
