I look at acoustics as for cars : They loose 20-30% value when got out of store unless it is a collector's unplayed rare instrument. So a few dings will not matter.

But I will look with scrutiny at nut at bridge and action at twelve fret with lateral pic of the neck to see bow and need for neck reset that is rarely if ever mentioned.

Finally, fret wear and all around pics for cracks is a must.

Youtube is not helping much as recording setup differs and you can barely compare different instruments.
