Hi there.
I'm on the horns of a little dilemma.

For about a year I've been eyeing a Mares Flexa wetsuit 3mm, also known as Flexa 322
I just love the design and fit of this thing.
But the price was too high.

I just came across an ad for a new one in the classifieds.
The good news- it's quite cheap at 80 Euros.
The bad news- while it's new, it has some imperfections: a spot of dirt (?) and a little fraying (?)

As I'm no expert on these matters, would appreciate any input on whether the fraying (?) is anything to worry about. The slight spot I can deal with.
The guy has a good online reputation and he sounded nice enough.
He said the slight damages were from storage- maybe it rubbed off against something.

I can't seem to attach the photos here or upload to the media gallery, sh here's a link to view them.

Any input is welcome.

Not something I would worry about. A suit bought new and dove a few times would probably be in the same condition. What I saw in the pictures certainly seems cosmetic.
