Grade B — Very Good Condition
Light cosmetic wear consistent with professional use. Fully functional, tested, and verified.

Grade C — Good Condition
Noticeable cosmetic wear, scuffs, or marks on the housing. Fully functional, tested, and verified. All tested functions were operational during inspection.

Grade D — As-Is Condition
Heavy cosmetic wear, potential functional issues, incomplete testing, or untested condition. Sold as-is. The operational status and any known issues are detailed in the product listing.

The condition grade is clearly displayed on every product listing. If you have any questions about a specific item's condition, please contact us at sales@omiwaa.com before purchasing.
