I'm glad I'm not the only one this really bothers. It seems to have gotten worse over the last year and a half or so. I went so far as to e-mail ebay and ask if they had guidelines for sellers as to what "mint" means. They basically said no and I should read the text to determine what the seller means by "mint". I typically only buy mint lego (real mint, not played with once), so I've just decided to never buy anything (mint or not) from a seller if I see them describing used items as mint. I'm probably only hurting myself, but I think it's unethical, and I refuse to do business with people that behave that way. My 2 cents... Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, David
