First ask questions about the condition of the blade, scales and pins. Most sellers are honest and will tell you anything you might want to know. Second, study any pictures closely. If the pictures are fuzzy, out of focus or can't be zoomed, avoid them. Finally, check the seller's rating. I generally don't buy from anyone with less than a 98 percent rating. As I said, most sellers are quite honest and want to keep their good standing.
