Price watch (75)

 

I do not wish to initiate another price watch episode too often because it implies a very disconnected after-market situation in which buy-sell are not underscored by appropriate awareness but this one is rather insulting. The TS7 pedal you see above has a clear gash on the label as indicated.

It is described as an item with minor scratches ... wait, what? The pedal clearly indicates a maifestation of robust use leading to significant dents & chips. If you are unable to fairly describe an item in terms of its wear & tear condition, please do not even go there. Leave it to the potential buyer to see & decide for himself. Take this case for instance, if I contest the condition of this pedal (because to me a gash is not equal to a minor scratch), there is a potential for dispute as the seller might not agree to my assessment of things. 

Alternatively, you can indicate a rating for you pedal, eg.: TS7 in 8/10 condition as opposed to settling with descriptives. Most likely, if the buyer wish to mitigate the rating, he will ask you why you rate it as such. This (to me) is a healthier / less contentious approach. We can agree that buyers & sellers in the after-market do not know one another, it's not worth initiating acquaintances with displeasure.
