I see perfectly fine items all the time in photo shops
and on e-bay. These items can be in near mint/ mint
condition except for one thing that probably ruins the
value even more than coating marks/ fungus. Some idiot
has engraved something on the item, be it drivers
license, name, some idiot even put their address on a
camera. These things are just soo ugly in my eyes, and
most of the times they are done with a clumsy hand
engraving tool that leaves marks all over the item. I
just don't get it. Bad engraving can cut half the
value off an item and can cause unseeable damage. What
do these people think that they will recover their
item if they chisel their drivers license or name into
it? I just dont get it.
