yeah, it looks like it has some mileage on it. But then again, almost anything on an engine can look dirty even after a few thousand miles.. Thats a nice starting price for a Radix though..

I'm thinking a Radix from a stranger in the UK is not such a safe bet... no matter what the price. I'd leave that for a UK buyer!

yeah, I'd leave it alone. I've heard bad things about buying expensive things from overseas.

DO NOT BID ON THAT RADIX!!
Long story, I will try to explain briefly. When I was looking for a Radix I checked ebay often. There was a guy who used other peoples pics and listed the units as his. People bid, then paid and get nothing. He changes his user name and re-registers every time and there is nothing ebay can do about it. He always seems to say he is in Italy, UK or Greece. I called him out several times and ebay ended his items or he got scared that I recognized the pics and pulled the auction. I used to send him e-mails through ebay that said
"Are you still trying to rip people off by listing things you don't have? I'll be reporting your *** to ebay again". DONT BID. Warning complete.

Hell yeah, get those damn scammers. I've noticed that guy on ebay for the last year or so. He usually sells vortech superchargers, powerdyne, procharger, ect.. and he starts the auction around $500, with no reserve! that alone is enough to throw up a red flag in your mind. "If it seems too go to be true, then is probably is." Hopefully he will be stopped someday.

why would someone in the UK have a blower for an H2? trucks like that in the UK are about as rare as ferarris are over here.

Don't let the location be the only indicator. Feedback is an important part of buying on ebay. If they have Zero feedback or if its only a few and all from him buying things from others,beware. Some scammers will set up an account, buy a few dozen things to build up a feedback and then try to SELL a big ticket item and rip you off. The same **** bag also listed he was from Illinois one time. I asked him a bunch of questions like his shop address or phone number etc...He didn't have a shop and his phone wasn't working right now blah blah blah. Wanted the money sent via PayPal ( a newly setup account no less) Just be smart and do your research on the seller if you're gonna spend big $$.
