When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?


I have an opportunity to buy a pair of used Totem Element Metal speakers that retail at $20k for $5k.  They are flawless from a performance perspective but have  cosmetic imperfections such as surface scratches that are not visible from the listening position, thus the price.  
How important are cosmetics to your purchase of used speakers?

Hope they make it there in great shape.

More than kids, dogs, conditioned environment, dings, etc is cleaning lady. Even after saying "stop cleaning at this line" (well in front of gear) I’ve come home to speakers off of every disk, interconnects off, etc. No thanks. Who knows where those beaks would go lol.
