Dear K,
Quite so, shills are not enough, it’s thinking and judgement, much as any assignment in life, but with a bunch of time critical variables thrown in for good measure.
Then there’s always the character of the people involved where a modicum of humility and honesty might prevail over avarice and ego.
Being on holiday in Phuket gives time for memory jogging. I once bought an aircraft that I inspected as its annual was completed, it seemed like very good value. Unfortunately the owner and the LAME were in cahoots to sell this particular aircraft with a cracked crankcase. Yes buyer beware, and same with some of the most plausible stories that abound today.
