Steve,

Thanks for sharing your story. I'll share with you how to keep it from happening again.

1) Insist on a detailed, written description (email is OK).

2) Insist on high-quality photographs. The 'Net makes this very easy to do.

3) Know what you think a fair price is before you go.

4) Take a knowledgeable friend with you and play "good guy"/"bad guy". You are the "good guy" as you really want to make the purchase. The "bad guy" points out everything that isn't as represented. Have a sheet of paper and keep writing down the replacement/repair cost of such items.

5) If you still want it, deduct the replacement/repair costs from the asking price. That is your first, last, and best offer.

6) Remember this: "sometimes the best deals are the ones you DON'T make".
