This HP docking station is fully functional and in excellent working condition. There is minor wear on the body from normal use, scratches and scuffs around body, as shown in pictures. It does not affect the functional integrity of the device whatsoever.
These docking stations are a bit finicky. Once you get them working, they are great. The G5 (this one) seems to be the most usable of the lot, and the G5 Essential (which looks the same but does not have the same specifications) is also reasonably usable. For recent computer builds, you might not want to use the older models in this line.
