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 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.
  • Poor Condition (1/5):

    • The item is heavily worn, damaged, or not in collectible condition.

 

We will also explain the specific flaws for the items, example as below:
