Most sterling silver flatware will show signs of use, but money can be easily polished with a cream money, and if no item is seriously abused, parts will be covered quickly and easily so you Polish will be proud to have on your table. Be very careful of black pitting on stainless steel knife blades, it does not remove easily (or not), and elements of these marks should be avoided whenever possible.
Some sterling silver pieces may require a bit more elbow grease (which means stronger and more polished) than others, particularly the bowls of serving spoons, for example, but in general there is little to worry about any advertisement that gives a full description and provides good quality close-up shots. Another thing that can happen is the blades can break off of sterling handles, but this is pretty rare in my experience and any seller who does not recognize any oscillation either in a list is on the line misrepresentation and restitution time.
