I always ask for a lot of pics taken in specific places on the bike before I buy especially at a premium. Sounds like your bike isn't in pristine shape.
If you have a buddy with the campy tools offer him a case of his favorite beer if he would coach you in checking out the bike. Most mechanics are good about this and like to showoff their skills. If you lived near Boulder Colorado a Case of New Belgium 1550 would get my attention. Heck, I'd even share...! Good luck.
