- c***s (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered this item for parts to renovate a similar hair cutter that had worn out over time. Although shipping was a bit late, nothing unusual; the seller was very responsive to my messages about delayed shipping. The item was very well packed, on inspection after it arrived. It was exactly as the seller described and in good shape for the age of the item. I thought it was a very good value based on the negotiated price. I am pleased with the item and the seller. Thank you.Oster 595-01a rechargable hair cutter Untested For Parts (#166634594712)
