Anyone here buy from RifLA?

I tried searching everywhere and I even posted a similar question on an old RifLA thread but I can't seem to find the specific answer to my question. By now I know RifLA is a legit store kind of like Flight Club, but cheaper. My question is, for those who have bought shoes from or go to RifLA on a regular basis, what is the true quality on the shoes labeled "Worn: Excellent condition." I read an article or a blog by RifLA (I believe) saying that their excellent condition shoes would be considered NDS on most sneakerhead sites, so is this true or how used are the worn shoes labeled excellent? The next step down from excellent is "very good" but I'm mainly interested in the excellent labeled shoes since there's a lot of shoe's I wasn't able to get my hands on that now cost an arm and leg on most sites and by most resellers if not already sold out. The excellent labeled shoes are significantly cheaper than the brand new in box shoes they have. If my LA people or RifLA customers can help me out I would really appreciate it, it could save me a lot of money lol.

Excellent would probably mean worn like a handful of times to the point where it looks almost DS.

excellent = good, but don't expect a vnds or nds pair

Would either of you cop an excellent condition pair for the right price? Is the damage to the shoe that horrible typically in what they label excellent condition. I'm interested in a few pairs where the excellent is a lot closer to retail price more than anything. I'll list a few prices since they have the shoes I'm considering in both excellent and brand new and see what you guys think about it, especially the Bred 4's that's where the price is much more significant and well if excellent is almost like new then that's cool since I wear my shoes. But if "Excellent" is already used and considered beat up then theres no point.

Jordan 7 Raptors (Excellent) = $170
Jordan 7 Raptors (Brand New) = $240/$250
Jordan 7 Bordeaux (Excellent) = $225
Jordan 7 Bordeaux (Brand New) = $300
Jordan 7 Citrus (Excellent) = $180
Jordan 7 Golden Moments (Brand New w/box cut top) = $270
Jordan 7 Retro Olympic 2012 (Brand New w/box) = $275
Jordan 4 2012 Retro (Excellent) = $250
Jordan 4 2012 Retro (Brand New) = $320/$340
Jordan 6 Retro Golden Moments (Brand New w/box cut top) = $270

They're resellers at heart. They buy shoes, restore them and sell them as "excellent".

So basically "Excellent" means "no good" for the price in real world terms?
