What problems to expect with surrounds on the wrong side?

:uhmmmm:I originally posted this in "General" but maybe that was the wrong choice. Sorry if reposting here shows bad form! I'm not being pushy, just wanted it to be in the right place.

How bad is an LE111A refoamed on the wrong side?

I got the seller of the Craig's List L110s to send me a close up of the refoam job. Looks very nice but the surround is attached to the front of the cone. Now I know it looks wrong (and IS wrong), but other than for reasons of purity, will it harm the sound or the speaker? Should I pass? How do you feel it impacts the value of an otherwise nice pair of L110s? Worth a lower offer?

I'm not a re-seller, just a minor collector-wanna-be!

Thanks,
