And another one that pops up now and again: "Needs a light dusting". If that's the case, why won't the Seller just do it before they sell the item. And when it turns up, there's usually a lot more dust, which the pics don't show.

"good" condition - vague
"Loose" - out of box but good condition or loose/floppy joints

I don't mind that as being a toy you would have to have some expectation it was on a shelf or somewhere gathering dust. If its a box its easy for the seller to give it a wipe but some toys really need a good 10 minute clean - only using a compressed-air would get it super clean so unless the seller states its mint I would always have some expectation a clean would be in order.

"See photos for condition"

However photos are 1, maybe 2 (if you're lucky) of the worst resolution pics imaginable taken by a blind man in the middle of the night. Seriously, you'd have to be blind to realise that that photo is THAT out of focus and they take them at what seems like midnight with only the full moon at lighting

This always signals to me that thee is something wrong with it and they have taken shitty photos to hide that fact. 99.9% of the time I don't bother to even follow it up.

To me, "99% complete" implies that someone actually calculated how many parts their figure has, compared to how many parts a figure is meant to have.

That's what it should mean. but I don't want to know which figure they pulled to pieces to count all the parts, especially if it's a G1 toy.

Theres a guy on eBay that often lists items as 110% complete as it comes with more spare missiles than originally out of the pack. or a spare leg or something.

Awesome a spare leg, just in case.... but 110% complete when it just comes with all the paperwork, missile spure, sticker sheet etc is just as annoying - well to me. They were with the toy when it was produced!

Reissues that are actually knock-offs *drops mic*

[Sharky]

i collect trading crads aswell as tfs mostly NRL but some non sport here and there and you often see

"Super Mint"
or
"Straight from packet to top loader"

but when it arrives you can see dirty great big fingerprints on the cards or rounded corners.

and to me 99% complete G1 Transformers always meant no instructions or tech spec

M is for MINT

S is for SEALED

B is for B@5!@#!

It's okay for the box to be beaten up, so that would have been accurate if it had actually been sealed. MIB/MISB refers to the mintness of the toy, not the box.
