It's well worth getting the eyes sorted before you do the walk on, as you'll find the play just as competetive as a tourney.
If the previous owner said the eyes were faulty, there's a good chance they're goosed. Buy a new set from Lips and either get them to install them or do it yourself if you feel confident.
