Good is the grade most second-hand bags and handbags are actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $7 to $788 across the category (about £5 to £585). Visibly carried and fully usable: the zip runs end to end, the strap is sound, the lining is intact. A failed zip or a torn strap drops it to Fair.
Where the line falls
A bag fails at its stress points long before the body wears out: the handle attachments, the zip slider and the corners that meet the ground.
For comparison, one grade up is Like New Bags and Handbags and one step down is Fair Bags and Handbags.

Common questions
Does the zip still run smoothly the whole way?
Rub at the base corners, some plating lost from the feet, a lining that has picked up marks, leather softened where it is held.
