Actually, more than decent - I got a bone and bekkou bachi off of eBay, for, I think, a steal (Thank you, Kyle, for advising me to go for it).
I was still feeling bad about the turtle! and I would never buy a new one! But this one was used, so I decided that it was made during a time when we didn’t think about things like that, like my Grandmother’s fur from the 1940s, which I treasure, but I would NEVER buy a new fur.
The bachi was a bit dirty, and it was chipped when it came, so I watched Kyle’s video on repairing chipped bachi. I was able to find 600g, 1200g, and 2000g sandpaper easily enough, but I could NOT find polishing pads anywhere.
I don’t know if you can see in the photo, but the handle was a bit dirty as well, with what I assume was dirt and oil embedded from the previous owner’s hands.
I sanded down the chipped edges, following Kyle’s instructions, with the sandpaper that I got
Here is the formerly chipped edge, now sanded and polished (one of them, they were both chipped) sorry for the blur, wasn’t wearing my glasses when I took the photo, so it looked fine, now I have my glasses on and, oh well, LOL!
It occurred to me that turtle and bone are very close to the materials that my nails are made of. I have a nail buffing sponge, so I thought I’d try it on a little piece of the bone handle. I used this buffer - I get them at the fair, but you can also get them on Amazon.com. It’s called “Flash Shiner” by Design Nail.
It worked! It also worked on the shell portion. I polished the whole thing up pretty, and now, I finally feel as if I’m not as much of a newb, since I now have a decent bachi. 
Just for fun, here is my super-fancy carrying pouch that I made (I’m totes paranoid now carrying my bachi around after the plastic bachi disaster!!)
And here it is in all it’s shiny polished beauty after a loving cleaning.
I haven’t even played with it, because it’s so pretty. I just stare at it, and caress it lovingly …
uhmmmm, that didn’t come out right. 
XOXO
