LOL, not excellent condition, but Ex condition,
"This item is in EX- condition.(Some marks on the outward,but works perfectly of course.)"
its a play on words to get your attention, like this store by my place has a sign "Going Out For Business Sale" |

I think he means its EX-Good condition, like in the phrase "thats my ex-girlfriend", ex- referring to a change in the status or condition of something being opposite or different than what it used to be. 
From a collectors standpoint though, MINT usually means fresh out of the factory look, and everyone can usually agree with that, but unforutnately peoples definitions and usage of the terms "Excellent", "Like New", "Good", "Very Good", etc. can vary widely, adding to the confusion. |

I collect old Schwinn bicyles , too.
I have always found it amazing how people on "FeePay" think just because it is still around that it is in great condition.
It may ride and function, but RUST IS NOT GREAT! |
