Condition Meter

Each Cut Price Racing product provides details for the item(s) being sold. The Condition Meter is a condition description guide for non-brand new items and does not guarantee suitablity or quality of an item. Descriptions of items within the advertisement/listing better explain any defects however if you require specific information, please ask us before you purchase the item.

The condition meter has five different settings, from poor condition (1 tick) to as-new or new condition (5 ticks).

As-New or New Condition

Item is either Brand New, or in as-new condition. It may have a small inconspicuous defect or mark but otherwise is in perfect condition. Brand New items are generally perfect unless the condition meter shows less than 5 ticks. Online STORE items usually fall into this category. Where a wear factor is being expressed (such as sprockets/chains/tyres) this rating indicates between 0-20% wear.

Very Good Condition

Item is in proper working condition but may have superficial marks/scratches, slight colour loss/fading, superficial damage, slight surface rust, or other slight defects. Generally, descriptions of the 'less than perfect' areas are included in the listing/advertisement unless they are unknown. Online STORE items may fall into this category. Where a wear factor is being expressed (such as sprockets/chains/tyres) this rating indicates between 20-40% wear.

Good Condition

Fair Condition
