Can you explain the meaning of "mint condition" in relation to antiques or collectibles?

SOLD: $919 (lowest) to $19,444.01 (highest) - depending on color, some are more rarer than others - all with 99 cent NO RESERVE! All primarily sold for about $1,003 a piece (with the exceptions of the 2 Super Rare I had listed)

Very next day, in the afternoon the buyer left 5 star feedback with all CAPS:

One stylus (needle) per box - sold at $14.95 - a three pack was $29.99 - I would NOT split! All the NOS were sold so quickly (I limited ONE per customer due to the fact I do get a lot of Commercial businesses that orders in bulk).

I sold them all on eBay - priced accordingly (I was NOT greedy!)

NOS (New Old Stock)

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

A Buyer who had an upset father because his Dad’s - dad’s old tube AM Radio died. The person contacted me, and had absolutely no idea what the tube was, he knew it was burned out. So I had the buyer to take photos (all the way around) and the socket (bottom) and top and provide me the name of Radio, and if all possible the mother board (aka circuit board). I also noticed another tube appeared to be “dying” and had him to pull that out and take photos. Heck, he just wanted all of them, and I told them it’s not necessary I can see the other 3 are good, one is questionable and the first one you contacted me is indeed burned out.

WARNING: Dangerous - You will accept all liabilities

Since my late Uncle had the “compatibility chart and catalogue” I was able to locate the radio and was also able to pull out the Circuit Board Blueprint. Yup, I had a match, and I also noticed that Bill (my late Uncle’s Co-Owner) had a note that if xxx was blown also the xxx is going. (Which put me right on the spot when I told him that it appeared that the other tube was bad). What I did was - I scanned the note, sent it to the buyer and recommended that he buy both tubes. He wanted it right away (his dad was in a nursing home and listened to the radio every day and was visibly upset because radio no longer worked). Because I was very low stock on the 2nd (the one that was going) - that one was $29.99, the other tube (common) was only $14.99, he paid $10.95 for overnight. I even scanned the “old instructions” of how to insert the tube as well and put it in the box.

My late Uncle owned a Radio and Television shop and plus a now defunct Warehouse Distributor also had old supplies. I literally cleaned them out! (Cleaned out - meaning emptying everything off the shelves)!

“Mint” state is extremely difficult to find, but not so of those that are “graded” and have COA (Certificate of Authenticity), and they often come with a hefty price tag (but not always)!

To have one that’s NOS (New Old Stock) can be very rare or common! Just because it’s in NOS/MINT State does NOT mean it’s worth Zillions of Trillions of Dollars!

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

I sold hand cranked Phonograph and old Diamond Record player needles (Stylus) and parts - depending on the make and model, the needles themselves were NOS, all opened and inspected (to make sure no rust) and it was shown clearly in photographs to all interested parties. I also sold DIAMOND (genuine) needles - NOS. The Year/Date were clearly marked on the box they came in, every single one of those expensive needles were well packed and pristine condition.

All original, never been opened, never been used - MINT

MINT STATE: meaning pristine, still in original container, no flaws, no embellishments, no scratching. EXAMPLES: depending on the item, for example, coin - can be traced back to its origins (such as “found in original bank roll or bank bag”), a sign - in original cardboard or wooden frame box and sealed, NOS (new old stock) - original contents, original box, may or may not have original price or store price. (example: Radio/Television Tubes in original box, marked, etc - NOS)

You’ve got an old Zenith Black and White television that had 2 tubes blown, I had quite a few NOS (New Old Stock). They were sold for $10, $15 or $20 over the price it was originated. For example: If a tube was $4.99 - then it was sold for $14.99 ($15.00).
