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; has no deep scratches*, dents, or nicks unless noted; has numerous and noticeable light scratches from normal use
EXCELLENT: Retains 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 be heavily tarnished

*deep scratches can be felt with a fingertip
