Rating System Updates on Item Condition
We're excited to share some great news with you today!
Our new Item Condition Rating System is a simple and effective way to evaluate the condition of the items we offer. Here's how it works.
-
New with Tags (NWT): The item is brand new, never worn, and still has the original tags attached.
-
Mint Condition (5/5): The item is in perfect vintage condition, showing minimal to no signs of wear or aging.
-
Excellent Condition (4/5): The item is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear or aging.
-
Good Condition (3/5): The item shows moderate wear and signs of aging but is still in good vintage condition.
-
Fair Condition (2/5): The item has noticeable wear and signs of aging but is still in decent vintage condition.
We will also explain the specific flaws for the items, example as below:
