I've seen a few described as this recently. Surely a contradiction!

    It means it only has authentic fake wear and damage done by the manufacturer, which is worth more than genuine wear and damage done by the owner.

    Look for any damage that hasn't been made by the same tool as all the rest.

    I always laugh at this as well. The only time it would make sense would be on the relic DG strat and stuff like that. To let the buyer know it no longer is an exact replica.

    This has been my mantra since day one - what resale value they likely to fetch when is no way of determining any potentially serous add-on damage...

    Because it generally looks fake.

    Yeah, mint is the wrong word. You could say same condition as it left the factory I guess.
