Surplus Quality/Grading

Equipment quality is determined by a few factors:
Missing Components
Damaged Components
Discoloration
Dents/Scratches
Fabric Condition

Surplus is organized into 4 categories: New, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Damaged.

New
Items marked as New were verified to have never been used before, most items marked as New are either still in their packaging or still retain their manufacturer's tags.

Grade 1
Items marked as Grade 1 are items in excellent condition we couldn't verify were New, they may have scuffs and marks as all surplus does, but aside from that, they're in outstanding condition.

Grade 2
Items marked as Grade 2 will show obvious signs of usage and may be dusty, dirty, scratched or slightly discolored along with having small abrasions. Every component is still in usable condition and works as intended. 

Damaged
Items marked as Damaged could be very dusty and dirty and/or have missing components, heavy discoloration, tears, and broken pieces.
