| Why aren't we allowed to use descriptions such as "like new" on used
items? I've been wondering about this rule for quite a while and it doesn't
make sense to me. I understand why we can't describe used items as new but
"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.
