While I am not an arms dealer, I use Ebay to sell some of my duplicate items or when I upgrade a piece, and I don't want any of those terms with those interpretations associated with me. I'd rather have our friends here point out a flawed description than be seen as 'that sort' of seller.

Perhaps it would be better not to assume these are 'blanket' descriptions/interpretations used by everybody that sells something.

Exactly. As a repeat buyer from you, I am very pleased with your descriptions. Your listings are a good model for others.

Light hearted yes, but also with a grain of truth if one surveys the greater volume of listings. It is a boon to discover fellow collectors such as yourself.
