There's a DAC listed right now that has been modified and does NOT function. The seller has it listed as "8". Am I confused, or doesn't the item hae to at least function to be rated this way?
I totally agree -A lot of people are not reading the grading scale used here on the 'gon - I saw a recent picture of some Thiels listed here with a severely damaged corner and they are listed as an "8"- I'm tempted to write to them and explain, however, it probably would'nt be worthwhile
Sogood, I agree. If something is broken partially - it should be rated 1/10 or 2/10. I just sold a Mac MR-80 with one channel bad, but in 7/10 cosmetic condition, but I rated it 2/10 because of the malfunction. That's the way it should be IMO.
Somewhat, as it depends on the seller's reputation & ability to grade with objectivity.
I have found a lot of seller's rate their stuff one grade too high & occasionally it's an outright lie.
Pictures do tell the story & in fact I recently decided a seller's rating of 9 was impossible because of several factors, the most important being I could see some marks. The seller claimed the unit was perfect but I'm going by what I saw.
