Some people are complete liars and I wouldn't think of buying something without looking it over and trying it first, because chances are you will get burned. I have had people tell me they have a very nice _____(fill in the blank) thats in perfect condition and well worth what they are asking, only to drive a heck of a ways to find out it's a piece of junk. You wouldn't believe how convincing some people are with their lies. Another thing, pictures never capture good detail, so a tractor can look ten times better than it actually is in a photo, and notice most everybody likes to take pictures of their stuff when its wet, so the weathered paint looks ten times better than it actually is and the weather checked tires will look like new ones, etc... and I've seen alot of old equipment sprayed with oil so it looks better at public auctions. Noting is better than actually being there and carefully checking it over yourself.
