If you are buying something sight unseen, then pay the $100 for a professional inspection- When you are paying thousands isnt it worth a little insurance?

Below is a post that I started a few days ago addressing the belly aching of folks buying stuff sight unseen:
I just have to ask: When are folks going to QUIT buying stuff unseen? I have several cars for sale, upon request I can send pictures of ANY part of my cars within a very short period of time. Digital cameras are cheap enough now that everyone can own one. I can even take pictures (very clear and precise) of the INSIDES of the quarter panels! There is absolutely no excuse for not being able to take and send pictures. My advice is as follows: If a seller cannot send requested pictures, move on. See the picture below? That is the INSIDE left qtr. of my '69 Camaro.
I also need to know: Do ANY buyers check a mans references? If not, you should. References SHOULD NOT be "my buddy down the road", they ARE legit businesses in the phone book, RJ, etc. Sorry to carry on so much, it just kills me how folks let themselves get screwed, then holler about how it was the "other guys" fault. I have never been FORCED to complete a trade I didn't want to, whether it was good, bad or indifferent.
Quit crying about being screwed if you are either too busy, too lazy or just don't want to "ride all that way" to inspect the car. How about an appraiser? Two hundred dollars could save you thousands. Too many ways to protect yourself, if only you will.
Protect your money as you would your family, after all it is their money too!
If anyone is wondering if I have ever been a victim, the answer is, of course I have!! I have a "show car" that I acquired sight unseen, still putting my money into it to make it right! I got that car right here on RJ from a less than honest man from the great state of Kentucky!! The only bashing I could do is claim he is dishonest in his dealings, I could have chose to nix the deal, I didn't though, so I have no valid reason for taking him to task. He is a loser and will get his in the end, if not before.
Now having said that, should you find yourself with too much cash, I will gladly send you pictures of my money pits!

the fact is this- its the sellers responsibility to be honest .. not the buyers responsibility to make the seller honest.. because the best of crooks are good and will sell their junk one way or another .. and thats guaranteed...
the people that get screwed SHOULD expose these crooks and when arrogant people come in here and basically call them stupid and shift some of the blame to them ,that does nothing for this forum..
in actuality no one wants to look stupid and this will only turn people away from posting their bad dealings with people here on RJ. and exposing crooks..
yes be a smart buyer.. but thats all that needs to be said.. not some sarcastic post.. which is in no way positive .

No sarcasm intended. Just stating the facts, if you get screwed it is your fault. I did the same thing, bought without inspecting, now I am screwed out of several grand. You should believe my comments are toward myself as well, in no way is anyone on here, or in this world perfect. I surley doubt expressing my thoughts will make folks not want to post about the misfortunes they incur. Heck, I even posted my misfortune after reading my own sarcastic piece.
Talk about trust. I trust you as far as I can see you if I do not know you. That's the way I am, if someone doesn't like that I am that way, then move along. I am almost 50 years old, have heard all the stories, excuses and lies I care to hear. In the first line of your recent post you stated "some people like to be trusted and some people want to trust people" . I would like to have been trusted, but I had to EARN it first. I would love to trust people, but unfortunately it is people like Keith of Ashland Ky that make me like I am. My refrences can be found in the local phone book, local car shows, etc. I challenge you to find someone I wronged, or ANY car or part I have misrepresented, I will buy it back immediately and apologize profusely. I feel I have earned my right to trust, and my family has earned the right for me and the rest of this great nation to speak our minds, whether or not you agree with it.
What you won't hear me do is cry about being screwed. I have noticed some crying has been going on, so I wanted to give my opinion. Apparently, you do not care for my opinion, that is not of my concern.
I stated Keith of Ashland is a liar and you should not deal with him. That is simply the truth all that should be said, unless of course, the "bad guy" wants to raise up and buck the word. But, I assure you Keith, I come loaded for bear. I simply want EVERYONE to know that Traderguy (Keith) is a liar and a cheat, if it can save a man from losing some money then I am happy. My details are private unless Keith wants to air it out.
BRING IT I SAY!!
So, in closing I must ad:
I am going to polish my Bowties!

yes be a smart buyer. but guess what this section of the forum has a purpose .. and this guy is utilizing it correctly..
Would you have gone to get it personally, had it inspected, or blindly sent the funds?
Its a reasonable question.

I second what Scorp said, & Livley, & Mopar too. An honest sale is an extention of a sellers character... this should be discovered once the vechile is seen/inspected... I believe the original post clearly admits remorse too. Thanks to you for being honest & reafirming how we should all be cautious... It's like "thinking with the wrong head" or wearing "beer-goggles".... I will quote George Jones: "15 minutes for a life time of pain" ... a hot-rod purcase is an emotinal one for me sometimes... like the 36/24/36 blonde... she looks great, but she will come with some baggage!!
