Setting condition (Mint / Good / Fair / Poor)
Every volume in your collection has a condition — how well-preserved the physical volume is. Condition affects estimated collection value (PRO).
The four conditions
| Condition | Description | Value multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Mint | Near-perfect condition. No visible wear. Spine uncracked. Often shrink-wrapped. | 100% of MSRP |
| Good | Lightly read or shelf-worn. Minor cover wear, small spine creases. Most volumes fall here. | 80% of MSRP |
| Fair | Visibly read. Cover scuffs, spine creases, possible page yellowing. Still presentable. | 60% of MSRP |
| Poor | Heavy wear. Tears, water stains, missing dust jackets, etc. Reading copy only. | 40% of MSRP |
Default for new volumes is Good.
How to set condition
On the manga detail page:
- Find the Condition field in the Details section.
- Tap it to open the condition picker.
- Tap Mint, Good, Fair, or Poor.
- The picker closes and the new condition is saved automatically.
How condition affects collection value
For PRO subscribers, your Collection Value (Social tab → Collection Value card) is calculated as:
sum(MSRP × quantity × condition_multiplier)So a Mint volume is worth more than a Good volume of the same MSRP. A Poor copy is worth less.
If a volume has a custom value override, the condition multiplier doesn’t apply — the custom value is used directly.
Why these specific multipliers?
The multipliers (100/80/60/40) reflect typical secondary-market resale ratios. A Mint volume sells closer to MSRP; a Fair volume sells at maybe 60%. They’re approximations — not appraisals — meant to give you a rough total for your collection.
Condition for wishlist items
Wishlist volumes default to Good condition but it’s not really meaningful — wishlist items don’t count toward Collection Value. Set it if you like, ignore it if not.
Bulk condition setting
There’s no bulk-set condition action yet. To change condition for many volumes, you’d need to do it volume by volume. We may add this in a future update.
What condition should I pick?
Be honest. Most collectors over-rate their volumes. A volume that’s been read once and lived on a shelf in a normal home is Good, not Mint. Mint is reserved for volumes that look factory-fresh.
Condition isn’t shown to friends
Your volumes’ conditions are private — friends viewing your profile see what you own and your stats, but not condition unless they’re comparing volumes you both own.
