This is true, I bought mine used from Fowlers in Bristol, I wanted to buy from a dealer as you get some guarantee, of course you have to pay for it. I sort of bought it unseen, with Fowlers "preping" it for me with the understanding that if I didnt like it then thats OK. I bought a return railway ticket to reduce the self induced pressure to buy.
