Woody’s Objective Rating System
- NIB (new in box) – NEW and NOT used item unblemished in original packaging, zero or close to zero defects
- NOS (new old stock) - item is new and NOT used –but- may have shop wear and/or blemishes from age which in no way affect performance.
- Excellent - used but in close to new condition, more than 85% service life left
- Very Good - used with some blemishes but more than half of it’s service life left – in many cases this can be greatly improved with cleaning/polishing
- Good - used with some/many blemishes but more than half of it’s service life left – in many cases this can be improved with cleaning/polishing
- Fair - used with many blemishes with less than half of it’s service life left; considered “rider” equipment, NOT concour or resto worthy
- Used - no collector value, but viable for “rider” with zero emphasis on appearance
- Parts value only- good for small parts, may be broken or completely unusable, but good for salvage.
