Virginity is overrated.
FWIW, I had an exchange with a GB seller of a late war PP. It was a bit "cautious" on his part - and I don't blame him. Gun LOOKS great, but he didn't want to offer a 3 day non-firing inspection period because "shipping's too expensive". I told him that shipping's on me both ways - AND - that I'd buy the gun at his BIN price (which was fair enough) if he'd grant that. He did, albeit with a "reluctant feel". I honestly don't expect to find anything wrong with the gun, he has good pix, and a good rep. But I wanted that security. I also asked him if he thought it was a re-blue (price appropriate for same). He played that one carefully and said "It might be".
The rest of his auctions that I have a vague idea of the value of the item, are pretty much spot on. He might be asking about $25 too much for a Iver-Johnson built "U.S. Revolver" that has issues, but that's because I have one too!
So I think he's a fair enough seller, just being cautious as he doesn't know me from Adam as the saying goes.
