    Great price, works well. Shipping is secure, arrived safely. Wish there was more description, but enough for me. Seller packaged well, put fragile sticker so there would be a chance it would not get damaged in shipping. Overall, affordable prices, good seller. Thank you. Shipping time is ok.

    Item came in good working condition, just as described. It was shipped on time, in a simple bubble mailer. These dongles are pretty hard to find these days, so this seller's price was fair. Tested it out for a couple of days and it works great so far. Overall, it was a good buying experience. Would recommend this seller. A+++

    Lens shipped fast and was packaged ok. I decided to return since the lens wasn't in the condition I expected based on description. There were some fairly significant optical flaws that weren't conducive to calling a lens "excellent condition" in my opinion. Cosmetically the lens was excellent though. Seller had a good free return policy.

    An extremely important chess book for anyone to easily build their chess skills.

    This book was developed by Laszlo Polgar to train his 3 brilliant chess daughters, Sophia (who went on to become an IM and WGM, Susan (GM and WIM who went on to become Women's World Champion, U.S. Women's Champion, for some time top ranked Female in the World), and Judit Polgar (Youngest at age 12 to top 100 FIDE, GM at 15, top 10 in FIDE for men/women for many years), with numerous accolades for supporting chess/women's chess. If you study the numerous Mate in 1 problems, then Mate in 2 becomes easy because you know the 2nd move instantly. If you study the numerous Mate in 2 problems then Mate in 3 becomes easy because you know the last 2 moves instantly. Then study the Mate in 3 ... phenomenal chess reference.

    Wrong Description

    When I selected this book it was described as a hardcover edition but now that it has shipped it is showing as a paperback edition...guess who is done with eBay...
