Puzzle is NEW. There is no cellophane around the outer box; however, the interior pieces are still contained within the sealed Ravensburger bag. Finding this puzzle in the 500 piece count is rare; and, this piece count is good for speed puzzling practice. The image is a bit more difficult in that context, making it all the better practice. We do combine US shipping so if you are interested in other puzzles or items from our store, please add everything to the cart first and then check out so that you get the benefit of combined shipping. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!
