Fair, good, and excellent condition

|---|---|
| Fair | Fair condition can fit a usable used gaming monitor with honest dead pixels, backlight bleed, scratches, burn-in, or stand looseness, a repair note, or a noncritical missing accessory that changes the price. |
| Good | Good condition means native-resolution image, advertised refresh rate, response modes, controls, ports, and uniformity checks out, required components are present, and normal wear does not interrupt the intended job. |

Example valuation scenario
Imagine preparing a used gaming monitor that has verified native-resolution image, advertised refresh rate, response modes, controls, ports, and uniformity, known screen size, native resolution, panel, maximum refresh rate, adaptive-sync support, and inputs, and disclosed dead pixels, backlight bleed, scratches, burn-in, or stand looseness. Several close local listings create a range, but its exact position should reflect included parts and including the correct stand and protecting the panel, not original retail price.
How to set the asking price
