Condition grades

How we grade

Every listing has a condition grade for overall state and a 1–10 cosmetic rating for looks alone. A cosmetic 10 is flawless; a 6 has obvious but harmless wear.

A+

Like new

No visible signs of use. Often boxed with everything it shipped with.

A

Excellent

Very light marks you'd only spot up close. Glass and sensor clean.

B+

Very good

Light, honest wear from careful use. Works perfectly.

B

Good

Noticeable scuffs or paint loss. Fully functional, priced to match.

C

Fair

Heavy cosmetic wear or a minor fault that is clearly disclosed.
