HeadingNorth Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 If it's never been used, then it would be classed, rightly so, as brand new. I don't know if there's a legal definition of "brand new." I would not call a month-old unused object 'brand new', but I'd happily take it as 'as new, unused.' People wrongly (imo) labelling it as brand new, wouldn't discourage me from buying. I don't think it particularly matters whether I'm right or you are; only if they're going ridiculously overboard and claiming it's "brand new, only bought last September" would I raise a complaint.

andyrad29 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 "brand" would surely mean the maker of an item wouldnt it? ie Sony or Phillips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 It ought to mean 'as it left the factory' - but that could have been years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is unused, it's brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
