Grade a disc in thirty seconds
Mint, Played or Worn. One scale for every market, so a B in Berlin means a B in Bengaluru.
Tilt the disc under a light and look at the data side. No marks at all is Mint. Light hairlines that do not affect play are Played. Visible scratches, or a case with cracks, is Worn.
Check the case and the cover sheet too. A torn insert or a missing manual is worth a note in the listing, even if the disc itself is perfect.
When trading opens, each listing will ask for three photos: disc, case, and a slip with your username. Checking them against other listings keeps everyone honest.
In one line
Honest grades are the fastest way to good ratings and quick loops.
