I only buy used unless the gun is not available. I don't have to worry about wear marks as much and if I decide to resell I am not out any money.
I bought one gun on gunbroker that was in worse shape than described. The cost was so low return shipping was more than I lost out on condition though.

I would not buy a used Taurus unless I test fired it first. Too many people trying to dump Taurus that have already made a few trips back to the factory.
