Product IdentityKNOW THE PIECE
Distinguish the brand, model, reference, year or season and size. Separate confirmed details from estimates and anything that still needs verification.
OUR STANDARDS / 02
Condition deserves
more than a label.
“Excellent condition” should be the beginning of a conversation, not the entire description. These are the details we aim to establish before a transaction.
INSPECTION FRAMEWORK
Five ways to look at every piece.
Authenticity EvidenceREVIEW THE BASIS
Review available product identifiers, labels, markings and purchase or provenance records. Identify where photographs are insufficient or further authentication is needed.
Condition & FunctionLOOK BEYOND THE SURFACE
Consider wear, stains, discolouration, odour, repair history and essential functions such as zips and closures. Details that are difficult to capture in a photograph still matter.
Included AccessoriesDEFINE THE COMPLETE OFFER
Confirm straps, dust bags, boxes and any supporting documents individually. Accessories and packaging are not, by themselves, proof of authenticity.
Transaction RecordPUT THE DETAILS IN WRITING
Confirm the item list, documented condition, price, included costs, timing and acceptance terms. Agree on authenticity responsibilities and the issue-resolution process before purchase.
CONDITION NOTES
Specific details beat a broad grade.
Unused or previously worn. Where wear appears and how extensive it is. Repair history and missing components. Consistent descriptions make different pieces easier to compare. If a transaction uses condition grades, define those grades first.
Inspection and authentication arrangements are agreed for each transaction. Third-party certification or an authentication report is not automatically included with every item.
