Hit or Miss With Online Purchases

Do you ever use the Buy It Now on a cheap ebay item before reading the fine print or without seeing a quality image?  I've done that three times this year including once this week. 


I bought the 1991 Kellogg's Legends of Baseball set because the price was too good to pass up.  The Carew card shown didn't look great and I made very little effort to look closer at it.  I decided that if the Clemente card was in good shape it would be worth it to me.  I was quite surprised when this arrived today.

I guess I didn't look close enough to realize that this was a sealed set.  That was a great surprise.  

Earlier this month I grabbed a lot of 17 cards from ebay assuming by the price and the poor pictures that they were probably cracked.  Getting some 1972s that weren't cracked was a nice surprise.

The third one I remember from this year didn't turn out as well as the two recent ones.  I bought a set of 1978 Kellogg's without looking at much since it was really cheap ($15?).  As you'd expect, most of them were cracked but they were in good condition.  

I know I've certainly made a few other mistakes with online purchases, including mistakes of being too cheap to bid higher on a few big lots, promo cards and uncut sheets.  Live and learn.

Luckily I am cheap so I just move on in my stupidity.  Does anyone else make mistakes like this?
