Condition & Grading Guide

We want you to know exactly what you’re buying. This guide explains the condition terms we use across clothing, vintage goods, collectibles, electronics, toys, media, home décor and more.

Honest condition. Clear photos. No surprises.

Because much of our inventory is pre-owned or vintage, signs of age and previous use can be part of an item’s story. We inspect items carefully, photograph important details, and describe condition as accurately as possible so you can make an informed purchase.

Heads up: Always review the full listing description and all photos before purchasing. Photos are considered an important part of the condition description.
