[ICOM] FS pair of Icom 756 Pro IIIs

[KK2DOG in NY]

Hi Darrell,    I in no way insinuated that your items weren't 'mint' but as a coin collector, 'Mint' to me means straight off the presses, untouched, packaged, and then sold to a dealer/buyer as 'Mint', much like a new in-the-box radio would be. I've bought a few 'mint' items that had burned-out backlights, a scratch on the display, and even worse. I think that people in general (not you) perhaps use the term too loosely and it could cause issues among some sellers and buyers. Maybe this guy is on to something?:

My humble apologies if I ruffled any feathers.

> Maybe I should have not used the word mint. It seems some interpret mint to mean "new in the box" or "new old stock" which is what I would classify something which has never been used. As for mint, I have always taken that to mean an item looks like it did brand new, but has had some use. Both my rigs are in great shape, no marks etc, non-smoking environment, but have both been used.
