Default Found a deal! Honeycomb(ls1) tail lights for $90 shipped, but need advice.

I found an awesome deal on a 98+ set of ls1(honeycomb tail lights). The price for these was going to be $110 shipped, but the seller noticed a cracked piece above the right reverse light and he is willing to lower the price (prob around $90 shipped for both). As far as I know this is still a great deal and I don't think the seller knows how much the tail lights usually sell for (in ebay they seem to go for at least $300-$350). I am only concerned with the chip letting in condensation that will make the tail light look bad. Is there any way I could cheaply seal this crack up or would it prob not be a problem. This is a good deal, right? The crack is on the right headlight.

Unless you will simply settle for less than the typical person, ..., I'd say pass on them. Or just buy the good one.
That one on the right in the first photo has more damage than just a 'crack'. It appears that there is a piece missing about 1" x 2". See bottom left corner, of the taillight on the right side.

I saw that piece missing, but I still think for $90 shipped is a good deal considering they go for SOOO much more everywhere else I have seen(includin' ebay). Any more input?
Pontiac fan, I deleted that other thread, thanks.

Lol, snag them up and re-sell them on ebay for more $$$. I'd say that's quite a deal..
