I have never dealt with them, and in fact, the first time I ever heard of them was in this thread, and I would have to say that personally I'd be wary of dealing with a vendor of used instruments who would not allow me a trial period on their instruments. Since you don't have money to waste, I would definitely keep looking.
May I say, I'm hearing just a bit of a rather dubious "well, I suppose this one will do..." overtone in your "this is the one I think I'll try first"? What we like to hear is a whoop of joy, "Hallelujah! I've found my Dream Oboe, I'm in love forever!!" But you can't say that if the vendor won't even let you try it out.
Keep looking. The chances of you getting a dud--and it's a lot of money to drop on something that merely "will do"...meh, it's not worth the risk.
And ESPECIALLY since it's a used oboe we're talking about here. Used oboes are a total crapshoot, there's no telling what you're in for until you've actually got the instrument in hand. Unless they're offering some kind of 30-day money-back guarantee?
