I didn't mean that to be entire serious. The problem is that we
use subjective terms to describe everything and they don't have
the same meaning to all of us.

I would say your description was incomplete. I saw some old
mainframe computers that were removed from service due to
obsolescence and were in otherwise perfect condition -- until
the people who removed them chopped cables with an axe to
disconnect them.

Depends on the seller, Mike. Question: how would you read this:
"This item was removed from service not because it was defective, but
because the project we were using it for ended. There are no known or
visible problems with this item."
