I wouldn't be too happy about that either!! I don't think that was being too harsh, because its the truth! I wouldn't buy any once fired brass unless I could see the brass before the purchase. That is why I stick with only new brass that only I will load, except for the .45 ACP brass that I can find at the range or that people are willing to let off their hands for free, because most .45 brass can be fired many times before any problems become present, and I do check each case before loading.
