After trying a few more times to try & capture the flaws on the base on camera, I managed to get some decent enough pics, to show the weird stains
It kinda looks like someone tried to clean off whatever it was before me. Looks like cleaning motions to me anyway. I did try dry rubbing the stains off, but it didn't work. Seems to have dried on there or something. I haven't used a special cleaning solution yet though.
Sometimes the price goes down at BBTS. I'm guessing this will go down in price as well.
Thanks for the suggestions, I've actually tried to lightly scratch the white substance (glue?) myself, but it didn't quite work. As for the jeans .....
I agree with GungFu. You crazy
