1. Condition Standard
Many of our items are pre-owned or vintage unless stated otherwise. We describe condition as accurately as possible based on visible inspection and our grading scale. Any notable flaws or issues are disclosed in the listing when observed.
For pre-owned books/print media, age-related wear (e.g., shelf wear, edge wear, handling marks, and minor fading) may be present. For artwork, minor handling marks or process-related variations may be present unless the listing states otherwise.
2. Our Grading Scale
Condition may be described using terms such as: New / Unworn, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or As-Is. Specific wording may vary by listing, but the intent is to communicate overall wear and notable issues as clearly as possible.
Original packaging is not guaranteed unless stated.
3. Disclosure Standard (What We Do and Don’t Consider a “Problem”)
Minor signs of wear consistent with normal use (e.g., minor scuffs, small loose threads, minor storage marks, minor pilling, light creasing) may be present on pre-owned items and are generally not considered “material damage” unless they significantly affect function or appearance beyond what is reasonably expected for the stated grade.
For books, minor writing, stamps, or light annotations may be present if disclosed in the listing; if not disclosed, only significant undisclosed marking that materially affects the item’s value/collectibility will be treated as “material damage.”
4. What Counts as “Undisclosed Material Damage”
Undisclosed material damage generally refers to significant damage that was not described and would reasonably affect the item’s function or value (e.g., major tears, large stains, missing major components, severe structural damage). For books/print media, examples may include extensive water damage, missing pages, severe mold odor, or major structural separation not disclosed. For artwork, examples may include major tears, punctures, significant water damage, or undisclosed restoration.
Claims for undisclosed material damage must be submitted within 48 hours of the carrier’s delivery scan and supported by clear photos.
5. Photo, Lighting, and Color Disclaimer
Photos are taken under varying lighting conditions. Colors may appear different depending on lighting, camera settings, and your screen. Minor color differences are not considered defects.
6. Subjectivity Note
Condition grading is subjective. If you have questions about an item’s condition, request additional information before purchasing.
