so what exactly is the difference between near-new, mint, and near-mint? i often took "mint" to mean "near-new". i'd just like to know before i make claims to people about having mint games then having any kind of discrepancies arise.
Near New-Impeccable condition, could've come right out of the shrink wrap
Mint-Has all booklets, and very good condition
Near New- All booklets, corners may be bent, otherwise good condition. Maybe a few superficial scratches.
I think it really comes down to the person. One person's idea of mint might not be the same as another's. It's really a good idea to ask the exact condition of the game to see if it meets your standards.
I don't think it's really a question that has a definitive answer.
