Not "off" center, just poorly centered. A real off center would have part of the next note showing, if only by a little bit. Well centered notes...
It's your collection and your choice so my only advice is to slow down a bit before you purchase. Try to negotiate. Maybe save up a bit and try to...
Seller is doing nothing but possibly perpetrating a future fraud.
