What do our condition grades mean?

Every item is second-hand, so we grade it honestly. Here is what each grade in our listings means.

Mint
Like new. No visible marks or wear, often with original box or packaging.
Excellent
Very light signs of use you have to look for. Glass is clean and everything works perfectly.
Very Good
Some light marks or wear from normal use that do not affect how it works. Glass may have a little dust that will not show in photos.
Good
Clear signs of use such as scuffs or brassing, but fully working. A great choice for a camera you will use every day.
Fair / For parts
Heavy wear or a known fault, described in the listing. Best for repair, spares or display.
