The "recommended seller" topic got me thinking...and yes, it should be obvious, but who would I rather buy from: Someone who advertises an item as "in very good condition", abd then there are surprises, or someone who is open about any damage, no matter how minor? Sounds like a no-brainer, right?
Still, a word of warning - if you haven't done business with a seller, ask specific questions about the condition of the item, and even better, ask for good photos from different angles.
An amp, tuner or CD player with a scratched face or a loudspeaker with a dented cabinet corner is nowhere near "excellent / very good condition" in my book. On the other hand, some types of minor damage are easy to fix - but rather be open and honest - many more happy sales will be had.
