Depends upon their free choice of selling it as fitting the description
of what they are selling. Such descriptions of it's condition as "good"
is not as germane as calling it "good condidtion for its' usage
parameters"
Further inquiry or description of the condition of such a thing shoud
have been of tantamount importance as to the new owner's intent to use it
as a lens rather than a dust collector of nicotine-tobbacco smokers or
doorstop wedger or paperweight holder.

Do you have a computer to build or something?
