The term "Grade A" no longer means anything in this market. Here, we define it in writing so you know exactly what you're getting.
In excellent condition
Top-tier vintage items. Pieces in near-new condition, with no stains or noticeable flaws, ready to be resold immediately without any alterations. Slight signs of wear due to age may still be present; this is inherent to vintage items.
- No visible stainsInspection under white light: collar, underarms, chest, sleeves, back.
- No holes, snags, or tearsSeams and hems inspected one by one.
- Functional zippers, buttons, and snapsEach fastener is tested manually before approval.
- Logos and screen prints are intactPrints are clear, with no major cracks or peeling flock.
Listed directly online, without sorting or editing. This is the category that generates your highest profit margin: high resale price, virtually zero return rate, and photos that can be used as-is.
