When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?

Those speakers look great. It's only an issue come time to resell. I go to great pains pains accurately grading, documenting, and photographing every issue, so I just have to roll my eyes when someone follows up with "how is it cosmetically, are there any scratches not shown here?". As if this would somehow be missed in the process, and as if such a defect makes it sound bad or break down sooner. Just buy new, at (or near) MSRP if you're so averse to minor cosmetic defects. It's getting to the point now I'd rather just give gear away locally or throw it away than risk dealing with a clown lol. 

I'm venting because I'm pretty much through trying to sell crap in this market.

Cosmetics are reasonably important to me, but some dings are not gonna keep me from a set of speakers I really want that are hard (or too expensive) to source elsewhere. And yeah - if I find the actual design hideous, that’s a non-starter for me. No way I can look at something ugly and enjoy my music lol.

It’s one thing if they’re trashed - but most speakers can have a number of mars, nicks scratches (etc) - and still look pleasing overall. I really don’t get being picky to the N-th degree over little imperfections here and there, but that’s the marketplace for ya, so we have to grade accordingly. I’m a different generation (between Gen X / Millenial) than most of the market here, I guess. I think it’s a generational and cultural thing how chill you are (or aren’t) about cosmetic defects. I’m pretty chill if it still looks nice overall. 

I have a set of Tannoy Glenair 10 that have various scratches and issue, but still look great in the room. Those were a good deal. Also got a set of Kensington GR that were gorgeously pristine, but I’ve now moved them around and experimented on them so much trying to get them to not sound like sh*t, and they’ve picked up some dings along the way (new crossovers and drivers later, now they sound great!) - that’s life!

While sort of tangentially on the subject of used gear, it still shocks me how often I receive gear with a single loose nut or screw or bolt rattling around in the chassis. Usually not a big deal in the end, but makes a horrible racket and gets the nerves going when you're unpacking. Does that happen to you guys?
