Quality scale

At Popmodec we take great pride in the quality of the vintage items we sell.  We are very selective and very rarely offer items that have been damaged mainly for the desirability of the specific piece. If the item has damage it will be well noted in the item description. If you have any questions about any item, or would like to see more detailed images before you make a purchase, feel free to contact us before you buy. We are more than happy to make your buying experience as comforting as possible.

We clean, polish and go over each item in great detail to ensure quality to you. All of our items are stored in a temperature controlled environment to help maintain the quality. Every piece is protected from sunlight and odor to maintain the highest quality while in our possession.

Make sure to use our quality scale to know the condition of the items you are purchasing.
