I have 10 used and 1 new
I have a smattering of ball and pin lock
Heck, I even have a racetrack lidded keg

Disassemble, new rings, lube, sometimes large lid ring, always worked. Used kegs will work; but it is hella-annoying to have issues so I do feel your pain.
 
UPDATE 8-9-2019

Just wanted to post an update. Contacted HomeBrewSupply and explained the issue with photos. 48 hrs later they replied that they sent out another keg which I received this morning. This keg is in MUCH better shape. Pretty much what I would expect. Fairly dinged up and has seen alot of use but doesn’t look like someone was testing steel toe boots on it. The lid has a snug fit and the posts are a style thats still made.

Prior to releasing pressure, I sprayed starsan around the usual places. Main seal and top of posts are tight. PRV has a tiny leak that was audible as soon as the starsan hit it. Will be ordering a new PRV seal and replacing the rest of the seals.

I wanted to again thank those that helped out. I certainly got quite the education on kegs issues and proper sealing techniques.

This is my second experience with Homebrewsupply, and the first time was less than mediocre. They came through this time like champs.
