Item quality gradings:

• New—The item is factory new (i.e. “New In Box”). This is generally taken to mean not only unused, but store-ready, still in all original and factory sealed packaging.
  
  
• Like New-- indicates that the item, while not quite in absolute mint condition, is close enough to factory perfection to escape all but the most discerning eye, though original factory packaging may or may not be included. Common variations include “LNIB” (“Like New In Box”) and “As New.”
  
  
• EXCELLENT-- indicates that while the item has clearly been used, its condition is such that it promises to offer all of the utility to its owner that a new item might have; it’s useful life should not be shortened, nor are there any visible or functional defects beyond very slight normal wear.

• Good—The item is clearly used and its useful lifespan will not be as long as that of a factory new item. However, there are no major defects, either visible or functional and the item remains in full working condition.
  
  
• Fair—The item suffers from some amount of wear and appears clearly to be a well-used item. Nonetheless, it continues to function generally as was originally intended and should be expected to do so for some minimal amount of time.
  
  
• Poor or AS/IS—The item should not be purchased by anyone intending to use it for its originally conceived purpose, as it is unlikely to be able to fill the function reliably and/or it is so ugly or aesthetically compromised as to render it undesirable to most buyers. This item does not qualify for our return policy.
