Gun show inspections

I was looking at $500 broomhandle today at a local gun show. The seller said he never shot it or took it apart. I didn't think the trigger felt "right" and asked if I could take it apart to see if the gun had mismatched parts but the seller was real hesitant about that so I thanked him and moved on.
I know I shouldn't expect much for a $500 shooter (that had a smooth bore), but how do you guys that sell at shows deal with buyers who ask to take apart guns to inspect before they commit to buy? Maybe I committed a breach of gun show etiquette.
