Condition Grading
Explained
Every unit we sell is fully tested and 100% functional, no matter what condition grade. The condition grade only judges the cosmetic condition.
Every piece of kit we sell is graded by our in-house team. Here's exactly what each grade means — so you always know what you're getting before it arrives.
Well cared for, light signs of use
The equipment has been well looked after and remains in strong cosmetic condition. Light but more noticeable signs of use — consistent with careful ownership.

- All functions tested at 100% reliability
- Clean, professional appearance throughout
- A strong unit at a more accessible price point

- Lowest price point — maximum bang for your buck
How we grade: Grading focuses primarily on the top faceplate, as it's the visible operational surface. Light marks may exist on sides, rear, or underside without affecting the grade. Any significant or unusual wear is always clearly highlighted in the listing with photos. Not sure which grade is right for you? Ask us on WhatsApp — we can share extra photos and make a personal recommendation.
