Condition of a pin.

So I frequently buy pins on ebay, and it always irks me when a seller lists an item as BRAND NEW and the pin comes dented or slightly scratched. IMO, BRAND NEW is mint, never used, and kept on the original card and packaging.
So my questions are:
1) Does this happen often to anyone else, where you buy a supposedly mint-conditioned pin and it comes flawed?
2) Does it matter to you if you trade/purchase a pin and it comes flawed?
3) Are most of your pins in your collection mint, used, flawed... I ask this because pictures always seem to cover up flaws in the pin. Everyones pins always look PERFECT when they post them in the showroom or maildays thread.
As you can see, I am a bit anal retentive with my pins and love them to be in perfect condition. Thanks for your time and hope to get some responses
