i sleep good at night knowing that in a fair bargain both sides were a little dissatisfied when the deal closed.......

It wasn't a private party type transaction. It was an estate type auction. So I don't feel I got one over on them plus I went by the limited pictures they provided, so I also could have ended up with a skunk. There was no guarantee it was functional.

I figured what I paid would be the price of a good shooter and that's what I wanted. I can sleep good tonight knowing I got a great pistol and they got what they wanted...cash.

As far as being uninformed, I wouldn't say that exactly. I did do some research prior, but I am new to the mil-surp/C&R world. But there is only so much you can research from half dozen low def pictures.
