Mark, welcome to the forum. If you worry, then buy a "shooter"... Far better to pay $700 and break a part than an $1800 (plus commission, plus tax) and have your now $2000 transform to a $700 shooter price.

Now, how often does this actually happen, i.e. breaking a part. I would say, infrequently, these were made for shooting. That said, I have shooters in my collection and my collectables that I don't shoot.

Buying at auction is a great deal! And can be far more expensive than buying from other means. All depends on who is bidding agaisnt you...
