Grading Scale

Each camera is carefully tested and graded based on its condition. Below is the grading system we use:

MINT
The camera appears unused, with no visible signs of wear. It is free of dust or fungus.

NEAR MINT
The camera shows very minimal signs of use. Any dust is minimal, and there is no fungus.

EXCELLENT
The camera shows minor signs of use, such as small scratches or scuffs. Dust and fungus are minimal, and there are no major defects.

GREAT
The camera exhibits noticeable signs of wear, such as scratches or scuffs. There may be some dust and minimal fungus present.

FAIR
The camera shows significant signs of use, including visible scratches, dents, or other cosmetic imperfections. Despite this, it remains fully functional. There may be some dust and minimal fungus.

AS-IS
The camera is sold "as-is," meaning it has a known defect (e.g., broken flash, battery door, zoom, etc.) that does not impact its ability to take photos. Dust and minimal fungus may be present. These items are clearly described in the product listing and are not eligible for warranty. For more details, please refer to our warranty policy.

 

Please Note:
Our cameras span a wide range of ages, from just a few years old to several decades. While we take great pride in the quality and condition of each camera, it’s important to remember that vintage items carry a unique history. The grading system we use serves as a guide to help you assess the cosmetic condition of each camera. Regardless of its grade, you can be confident that every camera has been thoroughly tested to ensure it performs flawlessly, capturing your moments exactly as you imagine.
