Tip was bent in during transit. This is easily fixable with some gentle prying, it's done all the time, including on brand new bikes by shops before you see them. But there may be other issues. BD will replace or offer cash if you keep it. If you're unsure pass on the cash in case there's something you don't see.

As I said earlier, a visit to a dealer or bike co-op will give you the info to know if any cash offer is worth taking.
