I guess they realize that 14 '+' signs isn't working any more?

And still...

*Grade: Almost Unused ALMOST...

*Appearance Appearance is very beautiful, tiny scuffs from normal use. It shows signs of use. TINY SCUFFS...

I guess God was having a bad day...
 
…I actually kind of like the phrase—it's at least original, though the details of the description, as you point out, don't line up with what the label ought to mean. Thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't be surprised if the shops hired few surfer dudes from West coast to post on ebay 😁
 
But it's not mint green with kawaii kitten ears.
 
So the Supreme Being is active in the second hand marketplace now, too. He really is everywhere, it seems.

Well what isn't in dispute, surely is that you can't get much better than God level, can you? If a prospective buyer were to ask for examples of the shots taken, the range may be restricted to pearly gates and harps which tend to be OK for highlights but not so good for shadows🙂

That link to the eBay listing will be boosted in View count by this thread, leading the seller to think 'there must be lots of interest!' 🤩...'but why no buyer?!'😕

Don't you mean: "She really is everywhere, it seems"? 🤨

Does this mean that the OP is a happy camper or is this an off by one event?
 
The last time I bought a "Mint+++" camera from an eBay listing the body had a few dents, there were rust spots, and the pentaprism was delaminated.
 
For the cost of 0.03ml of ink, my mass produced, un-patented tablet screen protector with it's "Protection of God":

The use of the term "Mint" is a pet peeve of mine.

Mint is Mint - by definition, there is nothing better. It is unmarred.

Unless you are talking about linux...
 
I would avoid that seller like the plague. Goes to the trouble to make up a phrase like "God Level" and then not accepting returns.


I've nothing but great experiences with Japanese sellers. Most of the time item is as described (although hard to match God Level with anything) but if not, always accepted returns/refunds.


Probably just been lucky.
 
Better than those "CLA'd" cameras being sold from Ukraine with shutters that sound like an old cat dying, being shipped lose in a box and their mirror breaking.

God level makes some sort of sense - men plan, god laughs.

Sad think is that I have actually bought that kind of camera ("CLAD", shipped on a lose box without padding and yeah, think broken.). Some from Ukraine but also some from USA.

There must have been a tweak to the translation algorithm from a Chinese language to English. Someone decided that 'God' is the same as Dope! as in great or excellent or something? I don't keep up with slang (cf. Dope example) but I bet there is some new word for best or such that with two steps could become God.

I blame Yahweh otherwise known as Ye otherwise known as Kanye.
 
Japanese come up with the best descriptions, and catch phrases! I wish I had a God Level Mint camera! Most of mine are Devil Level...Especially my 14x17 clapboard 😁
 
Maybe the listing entity is Dyslexic, and they meant DOG!
