I've bought quite a few bikes over the years without actually seeing them first. Maybe I'm too trusting but I generally accept what the seller is saying and arrange a courier to bring the bike to me. I've only ever had one small problem which was sorted by ebay.
The bike I have now I bought as a Cat D without seeing it. I only paid £1700 for it on a 58 plate so I expected to spend some money on it. I've spent about £550 on it so far (including the £120 for the courier) and it's now looking like a very nice clean bike. Turns out it's not even registered as a Cat D so I think that was a bargain.

I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.
