Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?


Hi folks, reading & absorbing as much as I can in the Learn forum, question from a novice in this field, is it safe to purchase used or sight unseen a pair of hi-end speakers? Are speakers considered "too old?" Does it effect the sound too much? Thanks

I would not buy the cable "sight un-seen", and I'm close to taking Kira's “ten foot pole” advice
I would not buy any speakers without plenty of pictures. I just don't "get" guys who list speakers with no pictures.

yes plenty of pictures(close up) and may be video would be helpful.Why close up?when i was buying dyns c1 in pictures speakers looked fine.But when they arrived ,during unpacking stright away I noticed that bafles of both sides had cosmetic factory defects because of sandwich layering.At first came idea may be it is faked,then i checked up drivers, crosovers.Were original.Seller sold them 400$ cheaper for this reason I think....
