Most people selling CSOs make sure that all the keys move, and there are no missing pads or other parts, then declare it playable. The good ones try to blow a mid-range chalumeau note and if it sounds at all, the it is playable.

I have found that most of the repadded, refurbished, fully reconditioned instruments that are purchased on eBay or shopgoodwill need, at minimum, a full 'playing condition' service and, at worst, need a complete overhaul. The exception is the well-known music shops that really do get the instruments refurbished, but they sell them for what they are worth (which is more than most new CSOs from China) and take a long time to clear.
