I'm looking at a Nikon Micro-Nikkor 105 mm F/2.8 Lens
Macro Fixed Digital SLR Camera LensW/ Filter

How detrimental to the photo would this description be:

No scratches
Little something haze, No affecting shooting
No fungus
It may have some tiny scuffs but is Excellent one.
No dent!

Should I just stay away from it? Will "a little something haze" affect the photo?

I am very cautious about stuff like this. I would be a bit concerned. Also I would want to make sure that this was an AF-S lens.

I have a 105 sigma that has a little haze,looking at the images from it you would be hard put to know,i will continue to use it but i would not buy one like that,start with a nice clear one,if price is a issue look as sigma ot tamron instead of nikon.

This does not say which version of the lens it is. There are quite a few
. AIS which comes with an extension tube. Will do 1:1, but will neither meter nor AF on D3xxx and D5xxx bodies
. AF without extension tube 1:2
. AFS will meter and AF with all bodies
If you are beginner avoid the first two. Avoid lens with "haze". In short ubless you can inspect the lens and try it out with your body, stay away
