Understanding our transparent condition assessment system

How We Grade

Every item undergoes hands-on inspection by our team in Japan using internationally recognised resale standards. Our clear grading scale ensures you know exactly what to expect when your item arrives.

Always review photos carefully: Each listing includes detailed photos from multiple angles. Use the zoom function to examine every detail, texture, and potential sign of wear.

📸 Essential Photo Review Tips

🔍 Zoom In

Use the zoom function on every photo to examine fine details, stitching, hardware, and any signs of wear that may not be visible in the main view.

📐 Check All Angles

Review photos from every angle provided - front, back, sides, bottom, and interior views to get a complete picture of the item's condition.

🔎 Examine Details

Pay special attention to corners, edges, handles, zippers, clasps, and any hardware for signs of wear or tarnishing.

📋 Read Descriptions

Combine photo analysis with our detailed written descriptions for the most accurate understanding of condition.

📦 Check What's Included

Always review the "Inclusions" section within each item's details tab. This will tell you exactly what comes with your purchase - including dust bags, authenticity cards, boxes, receipts, or any additional accessories.

Pro tip: Items with original packaging and accessories typically hold higher value and provide additional authenticity assurance.
