My photo-based offer led to a nasty surprise.
Always visit a home in person before you bid.

Learned that the hard way when I bought a rug online that looked huge in the picture. Showed up and it was basically a fancy bath mat. Photos can lie harder than a kid with a stolen cookie.

Bought a vintage guitar online based on pictures alone. The photos made it look mint, all shiny and clean. When the box showed up, the body had a huge crack hidden by the lighting. The seller swore it was perfect in the listing. I lost a chunk of money on that deal. Now I never buy anything big without seeing it myself first.
