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.

Depends on why you are buying or selling the component. I am currently selling an non working Sony SCD-1 for parts as it appears the laser is dead and parts are unavailable. I have also tried to purchase a working unit to fix mine but not willing to pay the prices folks are asking. So if I can sell mine for parts to someone to help them out then we both win.
