Is it just me, or how can a 4" crankshaft also be a 4.125" crank at the same time? No description, new seller, bogus price...in this case you will get what you pay for.

Perhaps he does not know how to read casting numbers or use a tape measure?

Some times I wish I had money to burn so I could just go around and buy all these crazy deals. I bet once in a while they are actually what they say they are

He has 4.00 AND 4.125 stroke cranks. Looks like he has several in stock or something.

something smells fishy, your crank is the base of your motor, if it goes it takes out rods, pistons, at least one head probably, and who know what else when it kicks the bucket, thats a risk i would pass up.
