RobertWhitehead Posted July 2, 2019 Share https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_condition Mint condition is an expression used to denote the quality of a pre-owned good as displaying virtually no imperfections and being in pristine condition relative to its original production state. Originally, the phrase related to the way collectors described the condition of coins.

Dadbod Racing Posted July 2, 2019 Share what happens if it is a "bargain" in "mint condition" The platform you're trying to sell on won't publish the add cause you can't have a "bargain in mint condition". You'll get a message from the administrator to say that some text in your ad has been rejected, please edit your ad and submit for publishing.
