Most surplus stuff looks well used.

A used commodity good, and they didn't clean them before selling them to you?!

it could mean either/or
surplus mags come in a variety of conditions from sealed in wrap never used, to no finish - rusted - dented heavily worn pay attention to the description of the mags you are buying if you want them pristine, look for excellent/like new descriptions... those should really have no wear on them at all look at the metal follower when you get the mags, if it is scratched up really good you can tell that a lot of rounds have been cycled through it |

Normally the surplus mags will have some description as to their condition.
I like to get the dirty/some rust mags for cheap. Any mag new to me gets dissembled, cleaned, checked anyway. |

Normal. Just cause they're refinished on the outside doesn't mean anyone has opened them up and cleaned/refurbished the inside.
But usually any mag that HAS been refinished is straight & dent free. Best grade mags I ever got were the Hungarians from SGAmmo. Like new inside & out, but they were around $15 and that was several years ago. |

I stuck the handle of a crescent wrench down the mag and twisted it sideways. This fixed it enough for the follower to glide back and forth again. |
