Mint Condition, Doesn't Anyone Know What It Means

I like the ads that claim the item for sale is "minty". I'm not sure if they're describing to the aroma or the flavor.

When you guys buy my stuffff---I'll treat it with some mint oil---Hey; is that not minty???

I laugh when I see "minty", too. I think this term has been borrowed from coin collectors. When they say a coin is in mint condition, they mean it quite literally, as if it just came from the mint that made it (as alluded to above). The other grading trend that drives me nuts is "I graded it 7/10, but really more like 10/10". So what are we to believe? If we buy basesd on his assertion it's really 10/10, and complain, he can say he only gave it a 7/10? If you say it's really 10/10, and it isn't, you've still misrepresented the product, even if you graded it worse on the "official" grade. At least explain the diffenrece (i.e. "technically it recieved a 7/10 because if this particular scrartch, but with the platter mat in place, it doesn't show" or some such)

I have a customer who refers to cars he is buying or selling as "triple mint". I guess that means they are three times better than mint. Or mint, mint, mint. Really, its mint. Honest. I kid you not. Cracks me up.

If you're gonna use the term, ya better mean it.
That means every surface (wood, metal) knob, screw, nut etc. should appear new or like new.
I've seen a lot of *claimed mint* items (cars also) that were a pathetic joke, didn't take much of a close eye to see the obvious.
So yeah, the term *mint* can be over-used-abused.
How bout *perfect* ??!!
