Question buying a buffer off ebay question

hello all again,
i am bidding on a buffer,i emailed the seller to see if he would have it running so i could check the bairings, it is a couple of hundred miles journey i dont want to get there and it is a complete load of ****, this is his reply:

Yes You can see it running, I've just checked the bearings for you and there is a slight bit of play, I suppose a bit of wear on a used machine is expected, in my oppinion it won't make any difference.

is he for real,do you suggest b4 i go further to telll him i want the bearings changed, or should i just tell him i refuse to buy it as he has not put the bearing fault in his advertisement,if he has lied about that what else is wrong with it. item 7605184464.

the add says this:

Item Specifics

Floor Standing 3 Phase Metal Polishing Machine.
This is a powerful 3 BHP motor by Beacon & BTH.
3 Phase, 4.1 Amps.
2920 RPM.
