mdomnick,you are correct about the rating guide,it is rarely used the right way,either people underate their gear to make sure the buyers who look at the gear under a microscope for flaws dont freak out or they go berzerk & flat out lie about the condition.
there is a guy selling an amp calling it MINT IN EVERY WAY even though it has a smashed glass face panel with no mention of how the glass got smashed so badly.
feedback is also part of the reason why some underate their gear,i read a negative feedback a guy got beacuse of a dusty control knob.
lots of flaws in the rating system & feedback.
