I recently traded a Colt .380 to domestic615 for a Model 28 and $100 boot.
Things did not go very smoothly, as he chose not to send the 28 until he actually had the Colt in hand, and then still took another week or so to send along the money order, after I had to point out a couple of times that the deal was to send everything at once.
I would also mention I saw that the Colt was sold the next day or so on another forum, before the 28 was even shipped, eliminating any opportunity to retract the deal upon inspection.
I might have chosen that option, as the 28 showed up with light pitting and rust on the sideplate, frame side, and elsewhere, mention of which did not appear in the ad or correspondence, nor was it visible in the supplied photos.
I eventually got the 28 and the money, but the process was not particularly smooth nor were the agreed-upon points of the deal followed very closely.
