MY GRADING SYSTEM FOR GAMES | |
I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt | |
to mention package wear, missing parts, etc. Sometimes I find that an item falls | |
between two grades, in which case I will list it with a two-grade scale. My grading | |
scale for games applies to the overall condition of the parts that are present; I do | |
make every effort to note missing parts, but games are sold as is. | |
NEAR MINT - MINT: I rarely use these grades, | |
except when an item is in truly exceptional condition. | |
VERY FINE: very nice with virtually no major defects. | |
FINE+: even nicer, with minimal obvious defects. | |
FINE: nice, but no prominent defects | |
FINE-: better than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider Fine. | |
VERY GOOD: most of the items I list fall into this grade; complete, unless noted; | |
a typical pre-owned and pre-played game with obvious defects as noted. | |
GOOD: some overall wear; damage as noted; may be missing parts as listed. | |
FAIR: a rough item, with many defects including tears,missing pieces and damage. | |
missing pieces, water damage, etc. | |
POOR: missing parts noted as well as possible; otherwise a pretty trashed item; | |
almost any and every damage may be present. | |
