Condition grades explained
Updated 3 Sep 2026
1 min readEvery offer carries one condition grade, set against the same checklist for every seller, so “Grade A” means the same thing whoever you buy from.
The grades
New: unused, in original packaging. Refurbished: inspected, repaired where needed and tested to specification. Grade A: fully working, light cosmetic wear. Grade B: fully working, visible marks or missing non-essential accessories.
If the grade does not match
If the instrument you receive is worse than its grade, return it within 14 days as “not as described”; the seller pays the return shipping.
