Every object on MANSII is described individually. Its page records what has been checked, by whom, and which documents come with it.
Who has assessed an object
There are four different things, and we keep them apart.
Supplier assessment. The supplier that holds the object has examined it and recorded its view. The page says "Supplier assessment", with the date and method where we have them.
Third-party assessment. An authenticator or authentication service independent of the supplier and of MANSII has examined the object. The page says "Third-party assessment" and names the assessor and the date. We use these words only when this has happened.
Certificate. An authentication certificate records an assessment of the object. Each product page identifies whether a certificate is included, when confirmed.
The brand's own documents. The maker's authenticity card, box, dust bag, receipt or booklet. These are listed exactly as they come with the object.
Where an object has no recorded assessment, its page does not claim one.
How an object's page is made
We present each object from the supplier's photographs, condition report and documentation, which we review and set out in a structured record: its condition, its identification details, its documents and where it ships from. Objects are held and dispatched by the supplier and ship to you directly from where they are held.
Condition
Condition is shown on a five-step scale: Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent and Unworn. We apply it to the information the supplier provides. Relevant documented marks and imperfections are described on the object's page, with supporting photographs where available.
Identification details
Model references, style references and production years are shown when they have been verified. Serial numbers and date codes are shown partly masked, or not at all, because a code on its own is not proof of authenticity.
How we word it
We use the words authentic or genuine about an object only where its page states what supports them.
If an object is not as described
If an object is incorrect or materially different from its page, our Returns policy explains what to do. Your rights under applicable law are not affected.
