A closer look.
What to check when considering a vintage object.
Detailed photography
Open an object's gallery to inspect its overall form, details and visible wear. Compare the different views and check what is included. If a detail is missing or unclear, use “Enquire about this object” to request more photographs before making a decision.
Explore the catalogue →Clear condition notes
Read the condition section on the individual listing. Cosmetic appearance and working condition are different: a photograph alone does not confirm that a mechanism, lens or electronic component has been tested. Ask the seller about operation, repairs, missing parts and any details that matter to you.
