This week after years of searching I was finally getting hold of a 90s Ibanez S470 SOL like the one in the pic

The trem was not the Lo Pro but the shitty LO TRS and I even closed my eyes on that thinking, ahhhh fuck it... I will buy a new Lo Pro from Thomann because I WANT this guitar. Seller by mere luck was coming to my town for some work day and we agree to meet. He was not happy with my Offer but since he agree to meet me it was implicit that my offer was valid.
So we meet and then I saw it... the neck had broken at nut and it was fixed... even though he assured me it was professionally done by a Luthier and was even better than new I just couldn't take the risk... and I felt bad for him but why the F didn't he told me before????? I'm argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pissed at it. Probably the neck wouldn't be a problem but I would have to lower my offer and I decided it would be a waste of time on both parts so I didn't do it.
Anyone has sad stories like this?
PS: I'm negotiating a S540 but to be honest I prefer the Fretboard Dot than the Shark Inlays and the seller is reluctant in lowering the price.
