Hi Steve, no the scuff wasn't buffed out. I just felt that the bright flash made it seem a lot worse than it is. It really does take a close look to notice. More than happy to send anybody as many pics as they want.
I'm surprised too, Mike. It's a rough market for anything that's not a crazy good deal. I'm seeing a lot of hard to resist gear lingering out there. I might just end up keeping these speakers around if my Audiogon ad expires

They really are phenomenal for the money!
