Not so much a hate as a strong irk: selling something as ‘brand new’, and then saying it’s only been used N amount or whatever.
An item can’t be brand new and used. Selling a not-unused or lightly used item and calling it brand new makes me think the seller, a) can’t be bothered with listing something correctly; b) doesn’t know what they’re talking about; or c) has no issue with trying to mislead buyers. None of those inspire confidence.
