How GradeThread grades condition
Every grade combines five weighted factors on a transparent 1.0–10.0 scale:

- Structural Integrity (25%)
- Cosmetic Appearance (20%)
- Functional Elements (15%)
- Odor & Cleanliness (10%)
Methodology
Each value is a modeled estimate positioned from the 72 condition-matched resale listings gathered for this item, bucketed by GradeThread's objective 1.0–10.0 condition grade and last refreshed July 14, 2026. Grades that fall in the same condition band share a comp bucket, so their ranges can repeat within a band; the low–high shows the typical band spread, not a distinct per-grade distribution. Grades that lack enough comps are omitted rather than estimated, so no number on this page is fabricated. Figures are resale estimates, not guaranteed sale prices.
