Cutting Broken Leaves

[AmandaS]

I ordered a zygopetalaum and a dendrobium off the internet. They arrived with dead roots, black spots, and several broken leaves. (macrovulgaris on ebay, not to mention she creates price wars and her products blow, I didn't know but don't buy from her)

Anyway. The leaves look stupid and I want to cut them off at the point where they are broken and bent in half. There is brown around these spots and I suspect it is just broken but due to all the black spots on the tips of both plant's leaves I wonder if it might still be insects. I am shocked that someone dealing orchids to this magnitude would have them in this condition, all her plants, which must be over a hundred, must be in poor condition if mine look this way.

I guess my point is, aside from my little rant (sorry guys I had to), can I just cut these leaves you think or should I do something to heal them? Obviously I will use a clean blade but should I use resin or something too? Thanks!

I should take some pics
