GENERAL INFORMATION: All items in my store are used unless otherwise noted. I do not sell bootleg or homemade copies of anything. All items sold by me are original retail items. The scans of items are always the actual items you are bidding on unless otherwise noted.
BOOKS: Below is my own personal grading system for books -
M - mint
As new. The book will be in the state one would expect to find on the shelf of a bookshop selling new books, behind the books already fingered by browsers.
F - fine
Almost as new. No major blemishes but the book has signs of being previously owned. The page edges will be clean, the contents sound, no major faults and any minor faults will be specified.
VG - very good
Showing signs of previous ownership. Corners may be a little bumped and/or the cloth rubbed, page edges may be dusty or browned, there may some writing on the flyleaf (ffep) and in the case of the dustwrapper, rubbing, clipping of price from the flap, short edge tears and/or minor chipping. Too many of these faults will take the book into the next category.
G - good
Showing major signs of previous ownership. Likely to have bumped corners and/or spine ends, marked page edges and bear signs of reading on a number of previous occasions with ownership label/inscription etc. Dustwrapper probably well rubbed, some tears and/or chipping, overall soiling, etc. Again, too many of these faults will take the book into the next category.
P - poor, or reading copy only
This is a reading or reference copy only. The text will be complete but illustrations may be missing and the cloth may be very worn marked and/or torn. It is probable that only the major faults will be mentioned as the minor ones will be too numerous. The book may even be disbound but if so this will be specifically mentioned. Any dustwrapper, if present, is likely to be in pieces or with major portions missing.
Plus +
Indicates better than the major category specified without reaching the next category.
Minus -
Indicates worse than the major category specified. Usually only used with G so that G- means that it is not of the expected standard for that category but that it is better than a 'reading copy'. If of a dustwrapper then it is better than in pieces but not really of a standard that could be called 'Good'
COMPUTER GAMES AND SOFTWARE: I test all pc games on CD-ROM to make sure the disc is readable. If a game has more than one disc I test all of them. I usually only put them in my CD-ROM drive and make sure I can get an install screen. System requirements are almost always listed. Games on 3.5" or 5.25" disk are not tested.
MUSIC CDS: All CDs, unless otherwise noted, will be used and will come in a jewel case with the booklet or insert included and will not skip at all. I test CDs for skipping by playing the first 30-40 seconds of each song. Please use scans to judge the condition of jewel case and booklet. Jewel cases with broken pegs and anything else that isn't apparent in the scans will be mentioned.
VHS and DVD: All VHS video cassettes and DVDs, unless otherwise noted, will be used and will come in their original box or case and will play fine. Any former rentals will be noted. Please use scans to judge the condition of boxes.
VIDEO GAMES: Video games category includes any game cartridges or CDs for any of the Nintendo, Sega, XBox, Sony, etc... game systems. Games for XBox and the original PlayStation will be tested and in perfect working condition. Games for any other systems will not be tested unless noted.
SPORTS CARDS: Non-graded sports cards will be sent in a bubble mailer unless it's a pretty good-sized lot, in which case they will be sent in a box. Graded cards will always be sent in a box! |
