Where do you draw the line when considering something "Game Used or Not Game Used?"

Maybe it's just me, but I find it ridiculous when I see someone selling something as "Game Used" and it displays hardly any use.

Just a few examples. For myself, if I want a game used bat, I want some obvious game used.

Your thoughts? Tony

Game used or not game used?

Why would it be "ridiculous" to sell an item as game used which "displays hardly any use"?

All three of your examples show some type of use. Maybe not to the degree you or I would like, but that does not make it a non game used bat.

Understand. I guess when I think of game used, I like to see some game use. However, I do understand the definition of game used. Used in a game. Even if only used one time, it's still considered game used.

I agree that I prefer to see as much use as possible on items. But when it comes to things like quarterback jerseys and the like, they probably aren't going to show an enormous amount of wear, so you take what you can get as long as it is real. But with bats, I prefer them to be just this side of destroyed as opposed to uncracked with 2 ball marks. It's just all about personal preference. But light use, to me, is still obviously game used per se. Just not my preference.
