Had to vote no. Honestly this will not work as most sellers will then just a
use a generic comment (such as "used" or even "like new" regardless of condition)
so they can list faster. If people are listing junk, making them add a comment
is not going to stop them. They'll just come up with a new way to abuse the
system.

| Not when you enter 5,000 used items! 
Would be easier to not list "crap" and for buyers to ask about condition (/ and
sellers to respond) if it really matters. (Or buy new)
I've contacted sellers before - asking if they have a "good" used part once in
a while.

| ... I DO list any defects (nicks / playwear) on my used parts. But used parts
that are in good condition - I usually do not note on every one that they are
"Good Condition" or "like new", though I am VERY picky on what I list.

This is something that many quailty sellers of used parts already do, especially
if they feel there is something of special note about the part that interested
buyers would want to know about.

I personally don't think this is necessary - but, do think it would be beneficial
for ANY store to list something in their Splash and/or Policies about the quality
of new/used. I just had a new buyer today ask for "PERFECT" figures, and I had
to explain to him that figures cannot be guaranteed to be "PERFECT" due to how
LEGO ships them in the sets I pull them from, but that they haven't been used,
etc., etc. - things we already have listed on our Splash/Policies.
I would encourage any store to list things they feel should be listed...such
as, we have a large amount of used we're listing now and we are putting in comments
that they could be from different production runs, some may be slightly dusty,
show wear, etc. We've pulled out the junk, but there are too many variations
to put them all into separate groupings, honestly. They're used, but some people
think (I've found) that used should look new...another thing we list in our Splash/Policies
is that if you really want new, don't order used.

On Sets this might be a good thing.. however for the general Parts it would be
way too time consuming and lead to the general comments..
