I doubt that we’ll ever come to a universally agreed and accepted understanding of “mint” or “like new”. The reality is that people will continue to use the term subjectively. Sellers want to get the highest price and often (not always) see and describe their item as being in a better condition than what it might be in or what others see it as. Also, from a buyers perspective, people also understand “mint” or “like new” differently too. Some are more discerning while others may be happy to accept blemishes in whatever form.

 

This debate can continue ad infinitum. I think the best approach is to call sellers out by pointing out any discrepancies between the item’s condition and the true condition of the product. After all, as a buyer such a discrepancy between description and true condition can be used to your benefit by negotiating a better price if the quality is still acceptable.

I sold some parts last week that were actually brand brand new in the packet. I described them as Brand New but the buyer was still surprised when he saw them. He said, "wow, they are actually brand new"!!!???
