The grading standard
What Grade C means in liquidation
Heavy use, or something that affects how it works.
What the inspector tests for
Heavy signs of use, damage that affects use, or a missing part that affects use. Priced to reflect it.
Final sale
Final sale. The condition is described in detail before bidding, and the price reflects it.
Who buys this grade
Heavy use or missing pieces, still working. Repairers, landlords and people furnishing a workshop buy here, because the thing does its job and the price reflects the wear rather than hiding it.
Computed under QC Standards Book 3, effective 2026-10-03. The grade is derived from the inspector’s answers, never chosen from a list.
