Understanding Sleepy 0–10

Sleepy is the disc-golf community’s standard scale for grading used discs — from 0 (destroyed) to 10 (brand new). Every listing on Disc Golf Trading Post uses this scale, so you know exactly what you’re buying. Sellers grade their own discs and are responsible for accuracy under their seller agreement; if the disc doesn’t match what was listed, report it on your order page within 3 days of delivery.

How sellers grade

Every seller assigns their own Sleepy score when listing a disc. A trustworthy seller is honest about wear — the photos and the score should match.

If a disc arrives noticeably worse than its photos and Sleepy rating suggested, that’s grounds for a refund — report it on your order page within 3 days of delivery and we’ll review the evidence against the listing. Personal taste (“I expected this 7 to feel like an 8”) is not. See how it works for the full policy.

Price impact ranges are typical secondary-market estimates relative to current new-retail price. Actual sale prices vary by mold popularity, rarity, weight, color, dye work, and seller reputation.
