A few weeks ago I won a SS prop on ebay. Was supposed to be a 10.5x11 in good usable condition "with one small nick"
When I received it and opened it up I was disgusted to say the least. First that little nick is a large nick that looks like there was an attempted repair using JB Weld. Also the defuser ring is missing and the prop had been poorly cut down and is now about 10x11.
I have taken this prop to a local shop that specializes in SS props and they told me that it is basically junk but could be made usable by cutting it down alittle more and adding a lot of cup to it. That is if while doing the repair it doesn't crack at the JB Weld spot. In which case it would have to be really welded again = more money.
I would like to post this sellers info but not certain I can at this point as I've sense filed a claim with PayPal. But I will post back with the results.
