Buying and Selling Sonor gear with people that don't understand how to grade product conditions...

As a former Sonor dealer, and current frequent buyer and seller of Sonor, I see where people mislabel the conditions of the items they are selling. Also discussed is how some authorized dealer agreements can conflict with seller platform guidelines, such as those specific to Reverb. I go in to detail about what I consider "Brand New" as a consumer; why dealers may or may not opt (or be allowed) to sell certain items as "Open Box"; various reasons that buying "B-Stock" may be a bad idea, and that there is no relationship of an items age with rating it as "Mint" condition. We go a little deeper into being careful about buying from non-Authorized dealers, related to drums and otherwise. This is one that is likely to generate numerous counterpoints, and as I mention in the video, I am certainly open to considering perspectives different than my own.
