I have used inspection and condition reports in the past. Although they work well, they tend to get expensive when you are interested in multiple guns. I no longer think of any gun I buy as a fantastic bargain, if I ever did. I figure the real bargains are recognized by those who have the opportunity to inspect the gun in person and are bought locally.
I do still bid on guns which have unique features or are hard to find. Like a crossover double meant for the left handed shooter. Been looking for one of those for more than five years. I’ve seen 100+ for right handlers but only one for left handlers. It will complete a display of right hand crossover, left hand crossovers and central vision.
