Sigh, I know when I sell on eBay I want to make a sale. Goes without saying really But I always list my items as accurately as possible.
Lately I have seen a whole lot of bbags with warmed handles, scuffed corners, and other minor flaws listed as MINT.
As far I as I know MINT condition means flawless, like new.
Using English . com lists it as Meaning:
Mint condition is an expression used in the description of pre-owned goods. Originally, the phrase comes from the way collectors describe the condition of coins. As the name given to a coin factory is a 'mint', then mint condition is the condition a coin is in as it leaves the mint. Over time, the term "mint" began to be used to describe many different items having excellent, like-new quality.
So why oh why do items get listed as MINT when they are clearly used in some way?!?!
(yikes, I must be feeling ermm, SPUNKY, today )
