One other thing that gets under my skin and deceives buyers either intentionally or unknowingly is the use of grading terms with a clear and specific scale to indicate where that term is in relation to Mint. For example, a CGC graded issue has a scale that you can identify the ranking of that grade. (NG or 0.5 to 10.0). There are 25 levels of grading. So many titles and descriptions say in "Very Good" condition, without defining what very good actually is. It sounds good to the unaware buyer. I mean if something is very good you would assume that is better than most. Well, a "Very Good" rating on the universally accepted rating scale of the CGC ranking is a lowly 3.0 (just 6 levels up from NG or Junk) or 19 levels from the top. See what I am saying?
This is just as bad as the sellers who abuse the word Mint. It is nearly impossible to attain that ranking, but I know one large seller that it seems every listing he has in Mint. Maybe it is, but the pictures don't indicate that. In this day and age you would think that these sellers can at least take a picture that is well lit and in focus.
