What the condition grades mean
Every item on FindA.Sale lists a condition, set by the organizer before the sale goes live. The app may suggest a condition from the photo, but the organizer looked at the item and confirmed or changed it.
The condition tells you what to expect when you arrive. Search results have a Condition filter if you only want certain quality levels, and the item page shows the organizer's exact condition.
The four conditions
New: Never used. Unopened, or with its original tags or packaging.
Used: Owned and used. The organizer also grades how much wear it shows, from A to D (below).
Refurbished: Restored to working order.
Parts / Repair: Doesn't work, is incomplete, or is untested. Sold as is, for parts or repair. Look closely at the photos before you drive out.
How used items are graded
A (Excellent): Looks close to new. Works fully.
B (Very good): Shows light, normal wear. Works fully.
C (Good): Noticeable wear, fading, or surface marks. It works, and it looks its age.
D (Acceptable): Heavy wear or damage, but still usable.
When an organizer also lists an item on eBay, buyers there see A and B as Very Good, C as Good, and D as Acceptable.
Trading cards
Trading cards are graded on the card scale instead: NM (Near Mint), LP (Lightly Played), MP (Moderately Played), HP (Heavily Played) and DMG (Damaged).
If the condition looks wrong
Message the organizer through the item page before you drive out. Ask for an extra photo or clarification. Organizers are usually happy to send one. It saves both of you a trip.
Don't assume the condition was set maliciously. Condition is subjective. A quick message resolves most disagreements.
Common questions
Who sets the condition? The organizer: the person running the yard sale, estate sale, flea market booth, or consignment shop. They set it based on what they see in the item.
Can I search by condition? Yes. Use the Condition filter on any search results page or sale browse page.
What if I receive an item that doesn't match its condition? Contact the organizer first. If you can't reach them, use the Report button on the item page.
