    This sellers got my 5 stars. Not only did they have something old and in practically new condition. But when I opened the package the care put into protecting it during shipping was really nice to see. They bubble wrapped the headset and then used packing paper on top and bottom. It let me know the seller cared about me getting my item safely and probably handled it with care as well. The item works flawlessly as described. And they had it at a decent price. Not price gouging like I keep seeing.

  • No illustrations!

    No illustrations! Skimpy for an economics book...has no data tables or flow charts, no graphs indicating supply & demand. Immensely out of date!
