Field Scenario

A vendor grades an instrument as “good condition” but privately knows it has a small crack that has been professionally repaired and is not visually obvious.

What You Actually Recommend

• The general condition grade alone is not sufficient disclosure for this specific flaw
• The repaired crack should be specifically mentioned, even though it isn’t visually obvious
• When uncertain whether to disclose something, disclosing more protects both buyer and vendor
• This level of specific honesty is what condition disclosure standards are actually for
