"like new" does not mean the same thing as new. "Like new" means
almost to me.
It is my suggestion that we do away with the rule that descriptions such as "like
new" are not allowed.

"Like New" is an incorrect descriptor for a used part. "New"
in Bricklink does not describe the surface condition of a part, it describes
the usage history. That means that to say that a used part is "like new"
is saying that it is not "like used" which would make no sense, and potentially
confuse buyers who may take it to mean that although the item has been listed
as used, it is actually new, or has the same usage history as a new part.
