I don't know if anyone else has experienced this lately, but an alarmingly high percentage of gear I've purchased the past couple of years arrived with with damage or defects not disclosed in the listings. It's especially problematic when you're buying something big and heavy that cannot easily be shipped back. Sellers know this. I've been stuck having to repair things myself or deal with the headache of repair shops and wait times. The partial refunds you may end up getting do not account for this. I would have rather not purchased the gear in the first place than have a project at a discount.
I contacted Reverb and suggested that sellers have to confirm that everything on a piece of gear has been tested and any defects disclosed. Or otherwise, it is sold "as is." But this grey area in between is really letting sellers screw over people far too often.
