| Like New | £18 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £14 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £9 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |

Frequently asked questions
Are gloves worth selling?
Leather and cashmere-lined gloves from recognised makers sell reasonably. Synthetic gloves sell for very little.
Where do gloves fail?
At the knuckles, where the leather flexes, and at the seams between the fingers. Check both.
Can dried leather be revived?
A light conditioner helps suppleness and improves how they photograph, but cracking cannot be undone.
