Mint Condition, Doesn't Anyone Know What It Means

Mint should be indistinguishible from new. Think virgin. 99.9% of gear for resale has lost its cherry.

Mint means:
I want to sell this now, for a premium price... even though the peanut butter INSIDE makes it hard to use.
It also means:
I think using the word "MINT" has a certain aura about it... and everyone knows what 'puffery' is anyway...
I personally think the stupidist ads are the ones with:
"LOOK" or "SUPER VALUE" or some sort of 'grab' word in the heading.
Though the ads with only the model number..
Like (Sony ASFQ-27 LIKE NEW!!) If I only knew what that was?? I might be interested.. but sorry I am not up on every model from every manufacturer....
I usually only bother to see if they still have the original box.... That helps.
(though then morons SAY they have the original box... but you never get it.. )

Cherry, now that's a good word.
The Dictionary said...
noun: a plant where money is coined by authority of the government.
noun: a candy that is flavored with a mint oil.
noun: the leaves of a mint plant used fresh or candied.
The adj. meaning "perfect" (like a freshly minted coin)

Mint condition:
A colloquial term for a vehicle that has been kept in, or restored to, perfect condition. Also called "cherry condition."
Mint Condition
A house or anything that is as close to new as possible.

I think it means it is in mint condition.
