Harley, when you say "you have to get a feel for who you"re dealing with", you are spot on. I always ask some questions on the condition, especially if a photo is from the wrong angle. Analyse the reply - if it sounds evasive, too good to be true, etc, ask more Q"s. I write to get the responses in writing and can often see if someone is bullshitting from the different replies, or is being as honest as one would expect. Hard copy Questions and Answers may be very useful to refer to in the case of you thinking the deal was not so rosy.

But you must not appear untrusting to the vendor at any time, unless you have definite grounds for this, in which case you simply say thank you, but no. Regards, RAB
