Default Bad grading?

As a regular seller of Scottish notes, bigtam67, grades such as, "VERY
NICE COLLECTABLE CONDITION", where the grade of the notes shown varies
considerably from lot to lot is very odd. Another grade given is,
"SUPER COLLECTABLE CONDITION", which I presume is a higher grade than
the previous one.

He either,

1. Does not know how to grade, or

2. He uses meaningless grades to reduce the possibility of "over graded"
notes being returned.

Why do people bid on notes with such vague grading descriptions?

Many of the Scottish notes pictured have corners that curl up, to me a
sign of pressing.

As he's only got 1 neg out of 960 I'm probably wrong about all of the
above. Billy

RE vague grading descriptions is a getout

if you state VF or EF them could be returned

COLLECTABLE CONDITION means everything & nothing

I buy off about 10 sellers on ebay normally outside of ebay
as I've dealt with them for years

More sellers now use such wording as above main reason because they are
selliing **** dressed up
