Do people find the rating system useful?


There's a DAC listed right now that has been modified and does NOT function. The seller has it listed as "8". Am I confused, or doesn't the item hae to at least function to be rated this way?

I totally agree -A lot of people are not reading the grading scale used here on the 'gon - I saw a recent picture of some Thiels listed here with a severely damaged corner and they are listed as an "8"- I'm tempted to write to them and explain, however, it probably would'nt be worthwhile
I think it is implied that the component functions and I see no mention untill you get to the 2/10 scale which states:

(Electronics have major dents, knobs are missing, but they sort of work.)
