Excess postage costs will always be refunded, I prefer to sell this domestically with pick-up but I am offering shipping because this item is uncommon (albeit currently available). This item is functioning well. The only thing I did not test was recording functionalilty but I can do this on request. I have a video of this item working:https://drive.proton.me/urls/4VBF7VGBVG#YRYjf1NdSXjg If the above link is removed for some reason please contact me and I will send a link to the cloud shared video file. Description taken as from my GT listing below:---------- Marantz DCC Digital Compact Cassette DD-82 player deck Item works perfectly, I have a video available on request demoing functionality. ***See info about remote below.*** Deck does switch from A to B side and plays, rewinds etc without a hitch. I did notice that one brand of blank media needed a small nudge to get the door mechanism to finish closing. The other brand of blank media I had on hand was fine and never needed any help so I assume it was manufacturer tolerances or variation on the tape. I have several blank media (albeit with previous recordings on them) available too. NB Remote battery contacts have suffered from battery corrosion discharge. I think they might be chance to salvage the remote if you clean up the springs / contacts. If I have time I will attempt to this. ----------
