You will only receive the item in the description as pictured. Anything in the background or not shown and not mentioned in the description is not included. Usually I do not use stock photos, normally I only have one or two of something at any given time. It was not a mistake, please do not contact me about it. I typically have auctions end Sunday and work weekends so asking during the week is best. BIN and OBO listings run until canceled so disregard this for them as they will be relisted at the end of the cycle. I do not combine items from different weeks, please do not ask.
