I think all of us would be happy to have a solid reliable way of rating parts and bike condition, but eBay in particular has lead the way in a reckless abandonment of all previous standards and I don't expect that to change.

In our own little world, (CR) at least we could perhaps agree to some very basic stuff like "Mint" versus "shop worn" versus "used in any way"? Will someone of us take the time to compose a standard that we could discuss here.

But we would be extremely naive to expect that shark infested world of eBay to adhere to our rules! Insert here Caveat emptor, E Pluribus Unum and other Latin cliches!
