[ICOM] FS pair of Icom 756 Pro IIIs

[AB2E Darrell]

Hi Mike,
No worries. I have learned something from this whole discussion, which is that we all have our own perceptions about the terms used to rate equipment and they might differ in the details. Thanks for the links, I'll check them out.
Best 73 to all on the list,
Darrell AB2E

> 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?:

> > 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.
