| background: Buyers will, in many/most cases, shun used parts because there is
no formal method of sellers telling buyers what to expect. Buyers will always
turn to New parts, unless the supply of New parts is constrained, or the cost
of New parts is significantly above the cost of Used parts.
suggestion: Give sellers the ability to apply a simple 4-level rating system
to help buyers better distinguish what they will be receiving. The 4 levels are:
Like New - barely distinguishable, or indistinguishable, from New parts.
Average - Average playware, The usual scratches, and very minor nicks along sharp
edges.
Worn - Wear levels that include, but not limited to, ABC, heavily worn from years
(or generations) of playware.
Unrated - Parts which do not qualify as New, but the seller has not rated them
in one of the above 3 levels.
Thank You
