VG+ is not bad and these ratings are subjective... Use it for a while and after a month or two if it's not good ask for a refund, you have three months to give (bad) feedback and someone who has 100% positive will not want a negative. You could also ask for a small refund, like 10% or 20% because the item is not exactly as described.
