private sales are fine if they are from a person knowledgeable about these, but if the guy sells other items,or has a store that has everthing but his brother for sale you could be in for quite a shock when you get it! might be dirty, damaged, or just non-playable... check photos..if there's only one or two, take a closer look at this guys feedback... these types put a big hole in your wallet! Barbara don't be afraid to ask seller!
