ITEM CONDITION RATINGS – WHAT DO THEY MEAN
MINT
It is not new, but if I did not know I could not tell. This is only related to item status.
EXCELLENT +
Lightly used with below average signs of wear. Exceptionally nice. May have slight wear on finish. Glass will be very clean.
EXCELLENT
IT shows average wear for the age, and may have smaller dings, blemishes. Glass may have slight blemishes or show very minor presence of dust but will not affect picture quality.
GOOD
Above-average wear. May have dents, dings or finish loss. A well kept item but there is no mistaking it’s been used. Glass may have marks or some dust, but img quality should not be affected.
Item Rating – continues
BARGAIN
Priced to sell. Equipment may show use signs way above what I could expect from fair usage. Note that this may result from further inspection and may not be visible in photos – this will be specified in the item description. Mechanically fine with the possibility of some minor mishaps – if so, this will be specified in the advert.
Glass in this category is expected to be only glass that I cleaned with some effect on coating or that I cannot assess for reasons disclosed in the description.
UGLY
Functional, but in bad cosmetic condition or with some functionalities off but overall useable. Items like this are reserved for the OUTLET section.
AS IS
Not functional \ for parts. I don’t expect to put them on the site.
