The listing may mention optional accessories or supplies, which may or may not be included with the used item actually being sold here. Production specifications may have improved between the used item’s date of manufacture and that of brand-new items. To be clear, you are bidding on the item in the photographs, not the item described in the manufacturer’s latest literature or the description below.
