Function first
Used A and AB+ must be fully functional. Grade B must pass core-function testing before it is quoted.
Know the grade before you ask for a quote.
Used A / AB+ / B describe inspected second-hand condition. Brand New, CPO, ASIS, and ASIS+ describe independent stock categories. This page keeps the two systems separate.

How we grade
Three rules behind every label.
Function comes first, exterior wear is separated clearly, and special stock categories are confirmed before order commitment.
Cosmetics graded clearly
Grades separate light use marks, visible wear, and heavier scratches or dents.
Sales-confirmed for special batches
For special stock categories, sales confirms the batch details before you commit to an order.
