Hi Matt, and welcome!
I can't answer your meter calibration question from experience, but I
wouldn't think it would be too expensive to have checked or calibrated.
To me, I think the price of your 4Ti is about in line what black bodies are
going for, maybe a bit high for the brassing you describe. Sometimes a body
brasses from just sliding around inside a camera bag, and it can be difficult
to
tell if that's the case, or a ceratain body had a lot of use. In your case,
I'd be concerned about the "deformities" around the tripod mount. That tells me
that the body was well used. IMO, the prices are high right now for black
ones. You can do much better on a champagne model. (At least here in the U.S.)

I wonder if the camera is worth the money, or whether I should send it
back? The bottom plate is scuffed and scratched and shows minor
deformities around the tripod mount. There is heavy brassing around the
strap rings (it is a OM4Ti black) and a minor dent near one of the strap
rings. (This one is minor, I did not see it in the first day.) The
rewind knob is brassed, but internally it is clean, the pressure plate
is not worn and everything else looks fine. All functions work as they
should, apart from the metering issue. The asking price is $AUD750
(about $USD540).
In your opinion is this a fair price?
Thanks in advance, I look forward to communicating with other OM users.
