Wait for the Big 5 sale and the price will drop to 1/2, or so it used to.

The examples I've seen at Big 5 during these half price sales are usually pretty beat. No blueing to speak of, shoddy looking bores, cracked/chipped wood and non matching numbers.
The one I saw today looked like about the best I've seen there.
I know I can get some pretty good deals through SGN, but I'm a little weary of spending my cash on something sight unseen. Since I don't have a C&R license, that 80 dollar deal quickly turns into a 160 dollar expense (or more) by the time you include shipping,FFL fee, tax and DROS fee. And I'm still taking someone else's word on the condition of the gun.
Are there any particular markings I should look for/avoid? I'm thinking about picking this one up.
