    A great experience. Seller very cooperative and helpful. Item described exactly as received. I'm always impressed when everything goes smoothly. Sellers have to provide the best service from description, to packaging, to follow-thru. I truly appreciate good transactions, and this was one, especially so. Outstanding from beginning to end.
