Used Equipment Condition Guide
Like any passionate photography enthusiast, we know how a well-chosen camera body or lens can serve its owner for years. In that spirit, we carefully evaluate every piece of equipment we take in before putting it back on our shelves.
Buying used is an opportunity to acquire quality gear at a reduced price, or to enrich a collection with rare pieces that are sometimes impossible to find new. Each item is inspected, tested, then graded according to the chart below, and the assigned grade is shown on its product page.
Grading Scale
| Grade | Condition |
|---|---|
| A+ | Like new, no signs of wear. |
| A | Minimal signs of wear. |
| A- | Light signs of wear. |
| B | Visible signs of wear, fully functional. |
| C | Significant signs of wear, fully functional. |
| Open box | New equipment, at most displayed in-store. |
