Damaged flying wire ends.

I've been offered a set of streamlined stainless wires for my bipe project
that have come off a ground looped airplane. The vendor says that only one
was very slightly damaged, the threaded end being bent just enough that the
rod end wouldn't screw in al the way. He straightened it with a plasic
hammer and says the rod end goes on fine now, but I'd be wondering....
Are these a bargain or a waste of money? they're virtually new aside from
this one defect. I'm considering getting them anyway and replacing the one
damamged wire if it comes to that, but in general, is this acceptable
practice?
