Default Buying a plane on ebay...

Im the guy who was trying to decide what plane to get in another thread. Sort of settled on a Mustang MkII PTS. If you get a plane on ebay, and there is not a lot of information about its condition, can you expect it to be in decent shape? I mean, it doesn't say its badly damaged, but it doesn't say its in perfect shape either. All it says is that its been flown 5 times, and is in flightworthy condition, and includes everything that came with it, like the radio, etc. I have bought other stuff on ebay, generally with good luck, but never a plane. Now if I act quickly I could save $80 to $100 off a new one. What kind of risk am I taking? Is this a good idea?

Thanks guys.
