Kuntoluokitus levylle:

M = uusi

NM = uutta vastaava käytetty

EX = pari vähäistä risahdusta VOI OLLA, yleensä ei ylimääräisiä ääniä, hiusnaarmuja jotka eivät kuulu

VG = ok , satunnaisia risauksia (2-5) , EHKÄ yksi isompi napsu

G = enemmän ritinää (soitettu kehnolla neulalla tai likainen levy) , tai useampia napsuja naarmujen vuoksi

F = kehno: rahisee ja "paukkuu" , voi olla 1 jumi tai pomppu (jonka mainitsen jos niin on)

Kuntoluokitus kansille:

M = uusi

NM = uutta vastaava, pilkunhalkojat löytävät jotain pientä

EX = reunoissa ja/tai selässä lievää kuluneisuutta

VG = selviä jälkiä, vähäistä ringwearia, VOI olla hintalapun, teipin tms. jälkiä, tai reunataitos
