The quality of this item is excellent (second one I have owned - my old one broke, and yes, these things do wear out!). The condition was excellent (it was brand new, in box!). The value, I suppose was good, much more than I paid for my first one from HSN years ago, but this is one of my favorites, and I am not sorry to have paid the asking price, as this tiny workhorse is no longer made. The appearance was a lovely blue. All was well, and I do thank you for the prompt shipping!
