Pics show major problems but not smaller ones. Many people just plain suck at photography.

You can only truly judge a pin in person.

Before you go, decide if you are ok walking away once you get there. Better to know in advance if you're just going to suck it up and purchase regardless of what you find. If you decide you can walk away, consider what aspects would be a deal breaker before you go.

Speak with seller on phone and get a feel for him/her and the pin. If it's not a good feeling, don't bother.

Hope these help. Trips can be fun! I drove 600 miles each way for a WhiteWater back in 2006 or so!
