I'm not basing my comment on one auction. I'm basing it on most auctions and most dealer's websites. Most descriptions lack the most basic facts a person would want to know when considering a gun costing in the thousands. I would never dream of listing a gun without mentioning the LOP, the drops, chokes, etc.
Let's not forget we are no longer placing classified ads where every word costs the seller money.
Your comment tends to support my position - it's only in dealing directly with the owner of a gun, face to face, that you will most likely avoid something being misrepresented.
I've bought 8 guns in the past 12 months, all of them sight unseen. While I kept 7 of them, every one showed up with at least one notable flaw that I would have mentioned. #8 had so many lies associated with it it went back right away.
Obsessed with Doubles' comment is dead on, IMO.
