Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect?

I'm auditioning a Parasound JC2 pre amp that the left input on channel 1 does not work. Would you buy it as is? How much should this reduce the price of the unit? Everything else seems fine. I'm wondering if folks will buy defective gear? The asking price is $1500 as is. Opinions?

Thanks in advance.

Cosmetic maybe if minor, functional no!
Damaged goods are a possible gateway to more trouble.

I wouldn’t buy modded gear either. They would have to be designer approved and there’s not many of them.

I still recall all those Linn Naim mods from the 80s/90s.

What are they worth now?
