We use the following grading table as a reference of how we grade and sell used photo and video equipment.  As there is no industry standard on grading, we apply this 10-step thorough internal grading process to help you understand your purchase and make you aware of the equipment's physical condition.  Any rating we give equipment above "Used and Abused" is intended to work as specified by the equipment's manufacturer.
