Default 2nd hand cams, should i send them back?

Hi guys, looking for peoples opinoins here as im in a bit of a quandry.

A few days ago i bought some peugeot group A cup car cams 2nd hand from a guy on the 106 rallye forum. I paid £200 and they were listed as being in good condition however on closer inspection 2 of the lobes on the inlet cam appear to have some pitting/wear. The question is does this matter or should i be asking for a refund?









What do you guys think?

Doesn't look ideal - would look to get a refund.

I wouldn't fit them in my engine personally

If there were no pictures of damage and no description of damage then send them back

no mention of damage, listed as good condition. I didnt 'gift' the money and covered the fees myself so should still be covered by paypal buyer protection.

Email or text the guy, give him a chance to refund you. If not open a case.
