   THANK YOU FOR VISITING!

CONDITION STANDARDS - Applies to all pieces, but doesn't consider tarnish, which can be removed with polish. Even factory sealed pieces often have some tarnish. 

WELL USED: Factory shine gone, piece may have dings and deep scratches
GOOD: Factory finish may be diminished, scratches from normal use, no deep scratches* unless noted, no dings or nicks unless noted
VERY GOOD: Retains most or all of the original factory shine and has no deep scratches*, dents, or nicks unless noted, but has numerous and noticeable light scratches from normal use
EXCELLENT: Has most or all of its original factory shine, minor scratches from normal use but not distracting

NEARLY NEW: Unmarred, only the most minor scratches from very limited use, will appear essentially new to most people
UNUSED: Perfect condition, though even if in original factory bags pieces may have some tarnish- a piece can be 'unused' and still heavily tarnished.

*Deep scratches can be felt with a fingertip
