Choose the condition that matches what buyers can actually see.

1. 1

   New / Unused

   No known use and no visible wear. Best for items that appear unused with no use-related wear.

   Disclose: Storage or handling marks; missing tags, boxes, dust bags, cards, straps, receipts, or other packaging; and any uncertainty about use history.

2. 2

   Excellent

   Very clean overall, with signs of use visible only on close review. Best for highly presentable items with only very light wear; Excellent does not mean flawless.

   Disclose: Light hardware hairlines, small marks, very light corner or edge wear, and minor interior marks.

3. 3

   Very Good

   Light normal wear from careful use. Best for clean, resale-ready items with mild wear that does not affect normal use.

   Disclose: Minor corner wear, light scratches, gentle shape changes, small interior marks, and light handle, strap, or edge wear.

4. 4

   Good

   Visible wear is present, but the item is functional and presentable. Best for usable items where wear should be priced and described accordingly.

   Disclose: Noticeable scuffs or marks, corner and interior wear, patina, hardware wear, odor, shape loss, repairs, alterations, or missing accessories.

5. 5

   Fair

   Heavier wear or several notable flaws. Best for items with significant cosmetic wear that buyers need to review closely.

   Disclose: Heavy staining or scuffing, cracking, peeling or structure issues, broken or missing parts, strong odor, and major wear.

6. 6

   For Repair

   Needs repair or has issues affecting normal use. Do not list it as everyday-ready.

   Disclose: Broken straps, zippers, closures, or hardware; severe peeling, cracking, holes, or staining; missing components; functionality issues; and any known repair estimate or uncertainty.

Use the condition that reflects the item today, not its original retail quality. When you are between two grades, choose the lower one.

• Between two grades? Choose the lower one and explain why in the description.
• Use Excellent only for minimal wear visible on close review; choose a lower grade for more noticeable wear.
• Do not rely on buyer assumptions - describe the item directly.
• Photograph flaws close up and name them in the description.
• Condition should match the photos, title, description, price, and your messages.
• If normal use is affected, grade it Fair or For Repair.

If the grade depends on a flaw, a mark, a repair, or a missing piece, the buyer needs to see it or read about it in the listing.

• Front, back, sides, base, and interior
• Corners, edges, handles, straps, closures, and hardware
• Brand stamps, labels, serial or date details, where they exist
• Every visible flaw, stain, crack, peeling area, repair, or missing part; disclose odors in the description
• What is included and what is not - box, dust bag, straps, cards, receipts, or pouches

Condition labels are seller-provided, not inspected by Middle Who Market. Treat the grade as a starting point to verify, not a fact to accept.

• Compare the selected condition against the photos.
• Read the full description before you message.
• Ask for more photos if anything is unclear.
• Confirm what is included and what is missing.
• Keep payment, shipping, and final terms direct and documented between users.

Condition transparency is the seller's responsibility. Listing an item does not mean Middle Who Market has verified its condition or authenticated it. The platform does not process payments for user-listed item sales, hold those purchase funds, ship those items, or guarantee purchase outcomes. Buyers and sellers agree payment, shipping, and final terms directly with each other. A separately offered item review has only its identified scope.
