Cracked frame is black/white. Cracked frame is junk. Especially if OP hasn't bought it yet. Are we really discussing if buying a frame with known cracks is worth buying?

Are the supposed cracks reasonably repairable? Are they more than cosmetic? Do they even exist? Black/white thinking doesn't need answers to those questions.
