I use this grading system when selling parts. Notice that "Good" is just above the middle of the grading scale.
Excellent - Like new or like nearly new. Would judge 96% - 100%.
Very Good - Like new or nearly new at a glance. A high grade for a driver. Would judge 89%-95%.
Good - Presentable for a driver, but definitely showing minor wear, damage, or corrosion. Would judge 65% - 88%.
Fair - Possibly functional "as-is"., but has considerable wear, damage or corrosion. Would judge 35% - 64%.
Poor - Needs total, major restoration. Probably not functional as-is. Would judge 11% -34%
Junk - Recognizeable for what it once was, but too deteriorated to restore or return to function. Would judge 1% - 10%.
NOS - New Old Stock.
N.O.R.S. - New Old Replacement Stock.
I have been a professional restorer since 1972, with many national first-place awards. My grading system is accurate and reliable. Use it objectively and honestly and you will be pleased. I inspect these parts carefully before listing them, and will not negotiate based on condition.
