3) Research the snot out of the gliders you are considering purchasing.
One good place to start are the "Johnson Reports" on the SSA website.

Good advice.

A couple more places to look: if you're considering older gliders,
search out a copy of the first edition of George Moffatt's "Winning on
the Wind" and read the first five chapters.

Similarly, any sailplane reviews by Derek Piggott are worth looking at,
but I can't quote book titles - sorry.
