quick question regarding a potential purchase

I want to buy a clutch someone on this site is selling. They're 300+ brand new and he claims it has 3k miles on it. But I don't know enough about clutches to know if the one pictured looks like it's in good condition or not.


So how can I tell/what do I look for?

Look at the pics...
There are no tell tale signs to see how many miles are on a clutch.
Used is used and any wear item is a gamble.

Personally, I wouldn't but that's just me. Oh, and they're $265 new WITH a new tob. So that $125 turns into $200+ after a tob plus add shipping for both items. Doesn't sound like much of a deal to me anymore.
