All good advice in the posts above. My take is that you see more in a short time on GB than you'd ever see in a lifetime without it. I've found variations that I would have never ever found otherwise. The downside is that bargains are few and far between. They do happen, usually with poor photos, vague descriptions and uneducated Sellers. That's where the advice above comes in. Educate yourself on what you are buying, make a list of questions, ask questions and ask for photos. If you don't, ignorance + impulse = big mistake = buyer's remorse = expensive lesson.
