On buying used connectors

I purchased a used BNC to pl-259 adapter at a ham fest a while back. Had nothing but trouble with it.

First I thought that it was corroded, it is... On further examination while comparing it to a new fresh one I found that the inner female contact barrel inner diameter is bigger then it should be. This made intermittent contact with the BNC pin.

Serves me right for trying to save a buck. Buyer beware.
