my items are fresh as brand new.....most items are unused ...I keep them safe and secure...and I maintain them to be fresh....because all the items that I buy I buy with so much passion and care....I research all the products and read through reviews to know that I only buy the best.Since I am an avid shopper I have so many things that sometimes I wish I had more storage space that's the reason to sell on freeup! love and cheers
