Grading system

We know that transparency and security are important when buying used equipment, so we have developed a grading system from 10 to 1 so you always know exactly what you are getting.

• 10 means factory new – like new.

• 2 means heavily worn – with obvious wear and need for repair.

• 1 Yes... It's not relevant. We don't sell items that are in such poor condition that we get below 6!

All products are carefully reviewed and evaluated, so you can buy with peace of mind and know that the stand corresponds to the description.
