ok,i know what a chip, scratch, and break are. but what exactly are flea bites? some times i think they are smaller than a chip, but other times i think they are bigger. are they just htings that people wish were smaller so they can get more money?
any help? ❓
this was asked somewhere before too…..
where’s mimi…
anyway…it’s basically like a chip…but extremely tiny like the head of a pin….
people like to use the word often when describing small chips in the paint…..
but to me no matter what you call it….it’s still a chip
Maybe you will find this page useful:

From the above page:
Pinpoint nick – Tiny fairly round little nick no larger than the size of a pencil point. Some sellers refer to this as a “fleabite.”

sometimes…
it’s really open to interpretation…but lamorte has the real definition…
Oh yes, some take liberties on eBay. I guess it’s just like anything else – some people are honest and go by the book and others range from less than honest to down right deceitful.
You’re right though, frozen – a chip is a chip.

You called? 😆I think we decided in this thread that you can’t know what a flea bite is unless you know the size of a flea… 😆
