Thanks Bernie.  I appreciate your post.

To get this thread back on subject I'll add some fuel to the fire.  Here's one I came across today.  Don't forget to add $10 for shipping

You had to know someone here would notice this. Apparently kamiboy has relisted his "Good as new" Duo.

Good as new, unused, minty

I can clearly see that the box alone is anything else than minty. or does it mean pepperminty?

[Bernie]

Well, I see a storm brewing. 

[Tatsujin]

I've thought the storm was already raging through the past 5 pages?

Kamiboy himself already said he put it up on eBay.

Ah, I must have missed that. :oops:

I just woke up, lol..  Little slow to think. 

[Tatsujin]

but did he also say that he will put it up on ebay as "Good as new, unused, minty"?

[Necromancer]

but did he also say that he will put it up on ebay as "Good as new, unused, minty"?

He did say something about it being okay under eBay's "new - other" classification, but I'd say he's wrong due to it not being unused.  Here's eBay's description of "new - other":

A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear. The item may be missing the original packaging, or in the original packaging but not sealed. The item may be a factory second or a new, unused item with defects. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

he also listed it on neo-geo and racketboy, that i've seen.
NG tore it up like we did, but for some reason racketboy seemed accepting.
I think they're too nice over there, but it really is a great community.

That Other description still doesn't include an item that has been used as falling under unused. It may only have been used a little by kamiboy, the seller who sold to him and all the other people who have had it over the years, but the furthest the dscription should be stretched is "doesn't seem to have been used much other than the little bit which I used it for".

he listed three separate conditions. good, as new (which is like new), and unused, which means it's practically new, but opened to check contents, and not played with. Same with an item being mint.

85% new?
