Here is some advice from someone who might have the answer.

First if he's selling it for an unbelievable price ask yourself is it too good to be true? Odds are it is a bummer.

Secondly are you buying it from someone with a reputation to protect, or some annon fucker who will appear under a different name in two weeks?

Thirdly, will you get all the 2257 and 2258 documentation, you are legally required under law to hold it. See my front page at the bottom for those who do not know the law.

Besides it protects you in so many other ways. Like, is the girl of the right age, did she agree to be shot and sold, is there a model release in her native language and English. Was it shot by the guy you are buying it from or an agent/broker/reseller?

For $75 and some hassle you learnt a lesson that would have cost $1,000 at a seminar.

Bet you won't be so eager to look only at the price in future?
