I'm not a buyer at Tom's scale, but I have to say that I've found that most combos of description and photos have delivered pretty much what I expected when the stuff arrived. Sure, I've had to return the occasional item or negotiate a price reduction, and I've been mildly burned a couple of times. On the other hand, I've fairly often be pleasantly surprised at the item than I would rate higher than the seller did. Of course, I generally avoid things with no pics or those pics that are worse than none, check feedback and ask questions, but I think the vast majority of sellers of Oly stuff are honest. I think the slightly goofy terms like minty are more a matter of trying to be descriptive while ignorant of the nicities of serious traders nomenclature than an effort to be misleading. The net is, after all, the place where odd and often spurious terms breed and multiply at the speed of light.
