Scratches on new prop

I bought a prop that they said had “just been run once for testing” are these scratches ok or should I try to get it replaced. They gave me $50 off. This is a bravo FS going on a mercury 400 verado.

I would ask for a replacement new one. That looks like more than a little testing was done with it.

Not if it was advertised as new without stating damage.

It sure looks like there was some kind of strike. Doesn't look new, or used once for that matter. The blade appears to ne "out of shape" to me. The prop hit something. Is it from the chain of lakes in Ill? Who sold it to you?

Just to follow up. The shop did not even hesitate to order me a new prop and take this one back. Thanks for the input everyone or I probably would have just run it and always wondered if it could have been better.
