Wheel whirring?

Hi all!

I'm looking to buy a new wheel and found this Brent model b. All looks okay with it, but I was sent a (very) blurry video of it to see if there were any noises before I drive too far to pick it up! It is kind of hard to hear, but I was wondering if anyone else could hear any strange noises coming from it. It would cost me $500 and a long drive, so just want to make sure it's worth it!

Put the headphones on and sounds like a worn bearing or belt. The squeak when turned on and off is a bit odd as well. I would definitely get a better video and audio before the drive.  A steady one showing smooth operation from zero speed to top speed using the foot pedal. Maybe they could turn off whatever is blaring in the back ground as well.

Yeah it's certainly not a very good video, he doesn't seem to want to send me another one, haha. I'll probably pass up on it, it would be a 12 hr drive total. I don't want to have to put a bunch of work into it
