PSA: dropped $85 on a "vintage" brass finishing tool set online, and 6 of the 8 tools are basically scrap
Bought a lot of brass finishing tools off an auction site about a month ago for $85 shipped. The pics looked decent but when they showed up the spine polisher had a crack down the handle and two of the lettering tools were so worn you couldn't get a clean impression on a test board. Took them to a buddy who has been binding for 20 years and he pointed out the edge on most of them had been ground down past the point of saving. So now I have 6 tools that are paperweights and I'm out most of what I paid. Has anyone had luck getting a refund through an auction site when the listing says "as pictured"? And what do you all look for in photos before buying used tools?

My uncle ran into the same thing on eBay with old chisels, listing said as pictured.
