Buying sight unseen is of course a risk, but if you are any judge of character at all, you can discern a person's credibility by what they say and how they say it. Knowing the equipment you are looking at buying helps you to ask very specifc questions.If you are easily snowed watch out. I buy many tractors sight unseen and I can truthfully say I haven't been disappointed. In a couple of cases I broke even and that was because no one could have known how stuck, stuck actually was on an engine. Scrap here is $5.75 for #1 prepared. A 5k lbs tractor at scrap price is worth 5 x $57.50. Stick to that rule on the worst scenarios and you will be okay. Also throw in the used parts market and buy along those guidelines. If you can't get it running you then have those outs.
