Mike McculloughIf the item is of a certain value I always ask the seller if I can look at it in person. I also ask for a phone # and am willing to at least receive a call if they dont feel comfortable giving out there ..
If a seller is not willing to cooperate with my requests I move on..
Afterall, when you buy a car, dont you at least give it a test drive, check under the hood, etc, etc???
I see no reason why a buyer of a high end collectble wouldnt want to examine what he is buying instead of just blindly clicking the buy it now button or throwing out some uneducated bid..
I guess it all comes down to what makes you nervous...
