Re: Mint
Perfect, met geen beschadigingen of fabriek staat inderdaad.
Tegenwoordig worden dingen door dealers al snel al mint bestempeld ook al zijn ze licht gedragen....

Re: Mint
Waar komt dat woord eigenlijk vandaan? Afkorting ofzo van het een of 't ander? Vroeg me zomaar eens af...

Re: Mint
Wel in het Engels, maar dat zal voor de meesten onder ons geen probleem zijn.
Even van Evilbay geplukt.
The term "mint" as an adjective was coined (no pun intended) by numismatists to indicate that a coin looked as if it had just been minted. Other collectors quickly adopted the term. Unlike terms such as "good" or "excellent" which could mean different things to different people, "mint" has a very precise meaning. An object described as in "MINT CONDITION" means, literally, that the item looks as if it just came off the assembly line in the factory; that there is not a single defect of any kind in the product. It is in the BEST possible condition a product can possibly be in.
Because this term is used by collectors, a seller should be aware that what an ordinary person may perceive as perfect may not be sufficient. For example, condition of the box of toys and video games are very important. While a crease in the laminate of the surface of a carboard box may not even be visible to the ordinary buyer or uneducated seller, it is of concern to the collector. Again, because this is a term derived from the collector community, there is an expectation that when it is used, the seller is indicating that he/she can properly evaluate the "collectible" condition of the item. In practice on eBay this almost never seems to be the case.
