OEM Turbocharger -- Less than 20k Miles + NO shaft play

[Ashtonts]

Hello everyone.

To make a long story short, I purchased an OEM Turbocharger from a fellow 'ziner a few months ago that was supposed to be a k03 that fits my b7. After changing plans and attempting to sell it, I realized that it is actually an OEM IHI turbo meant for a B8/B8.5 A4 2009-2016. My PM's from back then are long gone, and I paid in cash, so no real way to contact the original seller, but I seriously doubt he meant to scam me by selling me a more valuable part

Anyways, this turbo only has around 19K miles on it, and the thing is honestly in beautiful condition. Aside from a little garage dust, the thing practically sparkles. It has been tested, and holds boost without any leaks, and the wastegate flap is solid. It also has absolutely no shaft play, neither radial, nor in and out. It's definitely essentially new.

These things go for $1300 new from ECS, I'd like to get $500 + shipping obo out of it.

Some of you guys must be getting up there in miles, restore your power at a fraction of the cost of new!

I just received this advertised turbo. The listing says, "Aside from a little garage dust, the thing practically sparkles. It has been tested, and holds boost without any leaks, and the wastegate flap is solid. It also has absolutely no shaft play, neither radial, nor in and out. It's definitely essentially new."
The shaft has a little play but the wastegate is loose definitely not as tight as this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abSHYd4ql2U
Should I be concerned with this used turbo?

A turbo of this make will always have a little shaft play as the thrust bearing requires oil pressure to form a film around the shaft to eliminate all of the play during normal operation.

Post a video if you can of wastegate play, tough to make any accurate judgement without a visual.
