OP
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:
I agree with you 100%. I'm just posing the question. Some sellers say "Documented HUO". Some buyers want "proof of HUO". How does someone definitively prove HUO? I'm thinking they can't. And if they can't then the term Documented HUO is meaningless.

One would assume that means they can show they purchased the pin... or can show the chain of custody of the pin. Normally through proof of sale and chain of custody.

No it does not prove what someone did with the pin - but when one looks at the people in the chain, usually you can make some reasonable conclusions.

The chain of custody or HUO state do not define it's condition.. just help frame up the circumstances for which you assume the game was exposed to. Condition is king and the only thing that matters.

Is it some sort of 'fake term' - No
Is it some sort of 'be all end all' deciding factor? No
Is it useful to know? Yes
