"Excellent Condition"

I think we need to have a word with people about describing their wares-for-sale as being in "excellent condition". Now we define excellent as either:

1 : superior
2 : very good of its kind : eminently good : first-class

However...

"Glassons pin stripe pants
Excellent condition - hardly worn no rips, tears, holes, marks etc
Boot cut style"

Size 22 Kate Madison preggy top,hardly worn but needs an iron,no mark rips or tears ex condition.fold up cuffs,Very styly."

This person gets a little closer to the truth, but then blows it all away with their last line.

Photobucket

"6 business and dress shirts

2 Ralph Lauren, 1 Bisley, 1 Outfit, 1 Reserve, 1 Bankok Tailor

Smokefree home

size L, L, 39, 41


All in good condition, no rips, tears, but they are 2nd hand. If you expect new condition then pay new prices"

Here here. And if you expect "heavily creased condition" then pay a complete stranger tens of your hard-earned dollars.
