People complain about the internet sellers being a little shady and hard to trust, but it is worlds ahead of what we had before. Using Gun List and Shotgun News, all you had was a very small write up of someone's description. Then you call them to hear some more details. A buyer's assessment of % blue, % case colors, "honest wear", and so on are usually a significantly different from a seller's evaluation of the same.
I never buy anything on the net without seeing some pics, which makes things far safer then remote gun buying was less than 10 years ago.
