Buying on the internet...

[Double Trouble]

I just love it when these dealers get all p*ssed off at you when you ask a bunch of questions or ask to see more photos. They should KNOW what a collector wants to see (ie: photograph the areas that have serial numbers, or proof marks). Bottom line, they are my eyes & ears, since I can't see the gun myself ! I never want to give someone an "out" by not asking enough questions. If I don't, all they have to say is "Well, you didn't ASK me about that, so I didn't technically lie to you !" If you don't want someone to ask smart questions, go sell used cars !

I have had some very good experiences both on internet auctions like gunbroker and auctionarms and buying from individuals on trapshooters.com. I have also done well on the PGCA site. I don't want to get too specific or there will be jealousy among posters. Maybe I'm just lucky.
