Originally posted by donpjt Here's a pic of the major scuff and micro scratches on the lcd, There are 3 or 4 other slights scuffs.

But my K-3 which I've used for the past 3 years with screen protector has none and I still don't rate it as mint because of the scuffs.
Just posting here to get an opinion if I'm making a big fuss..
It's not mint so you should request a replacement. I purchased a K5 from them which also was described as mint, but exchanged it for another camera because there was a significant scratch on the LCD, and the shutter count was over 100,000! The second K5 they sent was indeed mint in every respect, and I believe I noticed the one I'd returned had been reduced to the next lower rating. I can't explain the shutter count - the body had some scuff marks but hadn't been used in a normal manner for 100,000+ cycles. But that was the data in the exif. I was pleased that they had no objections to exchanging the camera and the second one was as mint as could be without being new-in-box.
