You're right. My plane was polished aluminum and the dents didn't look too bad on it. The shiny aluminum helped. I do think the dents detract significantly from the value so use that in negotiating. The plane is probably OK, but it's a buyers market. If the seller doesn't want to negotiate, just keep looking. The right plane at the right price will show up soon.
