I'm gearing up to another round of selling (going into the summer(1), I must be
nuts!), and I'm shifting my basic parts description from "new", which still
applies, but isn't as clear, or as conducive to selling as "handled only in the
sorting process", which is also true. I can't recall where I saw that, but it
is a blatant lift on my part. (Mike Stanley, maybe?)

More seriously, I think that BB has a mostly higher class of buyer & seller
than eBay, so it's not as big a problem. Clearly stating that you're a builder
& collector yourself, and that these parts are in good condition, and only
being sold as surplus parts, not as undesireable may be a good way to go.
Otherwise, a picture speaks a thousand words. A good picture speaks even more.
