There's an auction that ends in a the next 90 mins, so this is very time sensitive.
Recently I got burned on an auction with a black powder revolver that has a pitted and rusty bore when the seller said it was good. So, I came across a black powder antique rifle from the 1870's that looks in great condition outside, but I can't make out much with pictures of the bore. The seller is 30 mins away from me and I asked him if he'd be willing to meet to exchange money for the antique rifle to avoid shipping costs. Really, this is a ploy for me to inspect the gun, especially the bore, and if I found something at fault, I would refuse to pay and walk away.
Legally, what can happen if I do that? The seller hasn't responded to my question about meeting to avoid shipping.
