CONDITION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MODELS AND BOXES

It is stressed that buyers must satisfy themselves as to the condition of any item or lot by careful examination prior to the sale. For live webcast sales, condition reports are available up to 24 hours before the sale.
In order to assist U.K. Toy & Model Auctions Ltd. the following Condition Classifications have been devised and only represent an opinion. No warranty is implied or intended by the provision of this information.
• MINT – Item is as new but may have minor marks or minor imperfections from manufacture
• NEAR MINT – Item shows minor signs of use
• EXCELLENT – Item shows signs of use such as small nicks or chips
• GOOD - Obvious imperfections, with more use
• FAIR - Major imperfections with heavy signs of wear
• POOR - Many faults or in a distressed condition
• PLUS (+) after a classification is better than the classification suggests
• VARIOUS CONDITIONS (a combination of any two, or more, of the above)
• PLAYWORN, SUITABLE FOR RENOVATION etc. are also terms which may be used where appropriate.

• BOXES are described in the same Condition Classification. For example, after describing a Lot the Classification MINT/BOX GOOD will indicate the item is in as new condition but the box has obvious imperfections.

• For guidance purposes only we have included an estimated price against each lot. This is only our opinion of what each lot may realise.
