I know these are old and Used, but they didn't even have "playwear" or any
notes at all when I purchased them. Should I just expect this level of damage
on older parts? Or ask for a partial refund?

Too be honest, since I can't zoom on the picture, I do not see the damage
on them. Link to a zoomable picture please.

This picture already shows these used tiles magnified...on my laptop...I would
surely mention the condition...and most probably leave them in my own collection//charity
box...not many people are want to pay for second or third class items.

That looks pretty bad, I would suggest taking pictures that will show full damage
and sending them to the seller. Hopefully they will be cooperative and you guys
can work out a deal such as a full/partial refund, returning the parts, sending
new ones, etc..

Hope this helps!

Some appear to be in better condition than others - I would view about 1/2 of
them as acceptable without further description, while the other 1/2 are damaged
enough that there should have been something in the comments noting it

most of them look to be in very bad condition and you should get a full refund
for them if there were no notes about the damage

Question: "Should I just expect this level of damage on older parts?"
Answer: Absolutely not!

I would not list parts in that condition in my store; unless they were very rare
(and with those items, I would provide a detailed and highlighted description
within the listing)...

If I had somehow missed the damage and sent used items in that condition, I would
expect my Buyer to be a bit upset, and they would deserve a refund.

Life is Good.

Those are definitely play-worn and should be marked as such. You may have stumbled
across one of those 'they're just toys' sellers. Run!
