Condition Grades

Grade	Code	Description	Typical value %
Fine	`fine`	As new, no defects, may be unread	100%
Near Fine	`near_fine`	Minor signs of handling on close inspection only	80-90%
Very Good	`very_good`	Minor wear, clean and attractive copy	60-75%
Good	`good`	Average used, all pages and binding intact	40-55%
Fair	`fair`	Heavy wear, may have markings or tears	20-35%
Poor	`poor`	Significant damage, reading copy only	5-15%

Default condition for new inventory items is Fair. Grade conservatively — buyers forgive a book that’s better than described, never worse.
