BUYING TIP
When buying "Mint" items on ebay, it might be worth remembering some simple points to help ensure any purchase is a happy one, especially if the "Mint" condition is important to you, such as collecting as an investment.
The term "Mint Condition" is an expression used in the description of pre-owned and usually non-current goods. Where "Mint" typically means "used, but still as new", but this is not guranteed to mean perfection.
Sometimes current products are wrongly labelled as MIB, MIMB and MINT condition when in fact they are Brand New, or BNIB if in boxes, but this is a typically innocent mistake by an over zealous seller. Always ask the question if the item is in "Perfect Condition", and if you get a no, then go elsewhere.
Watch out for current items offered as mint which are not tagged as new and working, because this could be used to hide a faulty BNIB item that has been returned by an unscrupulous seller. If you find a good seller, try and keep to them. It is easy to get stung when buying collectables.
Mint Condition should also extend to the box but some sellers make a distinction between "Mint" and "Mint in Mint Box" (MIMB). So, if it's important, make sure that the box is also in excellent condition. Too often an item is labelled as mint when the box or bubble packaging is damaged but the actual item itself is still perfect. But for an investing collector, this is bad news because the item will not return as high a value as a MIMB item.
If an item is truly Mint and in a Mint box, then ideally the seller should provide a shipping option to protect the box in transit by double boxing the item, whether inclusively or at an extra cost because after all not everyone wants Mint Boxes if the product is the only focus.
