I buy them as they are available nearly every time. I have been burned, sometimes I bought the first book of a series and it was also the author's first published book. More than once I have never seen book 2.
But it is only temporarily annoying and you can always speculate what happens to the characters yourself. I have reread partial series more than once and in general though I may be eager for the next book I won't deprive myself of a good read if the next books aren't available.
