<p>Mostly just shadowing what others have said, but this is from expirience.</p> <p>-Come prepared with a list (at least mentally) of what you want or need.</p> <p>-Remember that you get what you pay for, with whatever you buy being sold "as is". Unless it comes brand-spanking-new from an official retailer, don't expect the manufacturer to honor a warranty.</p> <p>-If you see something you are looking for at an attractive price. <strong>Don't wait, get it then and there. </strong>Odds are by the time you come back from looking around it will be gone and there's nothing you can do about it. And if you find it elsewhere at a better price, some, but not all sellers will accept a return (Be wary)</p> <p>I bought one used loco at a show, took it home, and WOOPS! it didn't fit my curves!(Should've thought about that beforehand) I took it back to the seller the next day and explained my situation very nicely to the gentleman. After a quick test run and look over to see that I hadn't broken it, he gave my money back. I made sure to purchase some other things from him because he was so kind and cooperative about it, and in no way had to give my money back. [8-|]</p> <p> </p>
