0km + never seen the outdoors = brand new imo
Definition of BRAND NEW
Why are there postings with BRAND NEW in the title, but items have been used a few times as stated in the body of text. Are there acceptable amount of usage, but still qualifies as BRAND NEW. I find that to be a little bit misleading, but maybe there are justified reasons for that classification. I personally think that BRAND NEW means never been used on the road. What are some of your thoughts on this?

I believe it was God who once said, "If you set your expectations low, you'll never be dissappointed".
Ok, that has to be a record for all three of us posting within a minute.

Keep it on topic. Some people have earned themselves 3 days in the sin bin. If you have nothing to contribute, don't bother.
i have a brand new Clear alternatives tail light. its still in the box. it's never seen the light of day. its what i call brand new.
if it's not on a store shelf it's not "brand new". guys who want 95% of retail don't seem to get the fact that half of what they paid for was service, exchange options and warranty coverage. i don't care what the product is or if it's still in the "original packaging", if it's not on the shelf it's 50% of retail.

Brand new is labels/tags are still intact and in its original packaging.
Another way to look at it, if it is not good enough to return/resell at a shop then its not brand new.

I find the Vancouver craiglist motorcycle list very entertaining in what people dream they call "new" and the price they think they can scam for it :laughing
I still caution Buyer Beware. A member here had a Ladies jacket for sale listed as Brand new with labels attached. However, after careful inspection I noticed the tags were located in an unusual spot. (I used to work in retail many moons ago and I know that tags should be on the sizing label near the collar/neck area or near the end of the sleeve/cuff)bafflebrain said:Brand new is labels/tags are still intact and in its original packaging.
I asked him if the jacket had been worn and he eventually admitted "Well it was only tried on and then worn for a quick ride. It was too small and uncomfortable for my GF, so I'm selling it."
I was pretty disappointed and angry that he posted Brand New. In the end, I still purchased it after properly negotiating it down to a "As New deceivingly re-tagged mint shape" price :thumbup
Tried on in the shop. Tags etc still in original places and not removed. Not used other than for size testing.
Duh, they do that for marketing!! It's easier to get people to look inside your thread.
Brand New = 0km.
1 km = used.

but new bikes have kms on them... either from the factory or from PDI... so are you saying a "new bike" isnt new? the last new bike I bought I personally unpacked from the crate.. it had 5 kms on it whenI turned the key.
tru dat and same here. my brand new bike i helped uncrate and the odo had like 7k's on it.but new bikes have kms on them... either from the factory or from PDI... so are you saying a "new bike" isnt new? the last new bike I bought I personally unpacked from the crate.. it had 5 kms on it whenI turned the key.

Would also expain why i couldn't freakin select 2nd gear when i rode off (shifter was set too high) ....but new bikes have kms on them... either from the factory or from PDI... so are you saying a "new bike" isnt new? the last new bike I bought I personally unpacked from the crate.. it had 5 kms on it whenI turned the key.
