What do you guys think and have you ever been in this situation.

A member P.M.s me stating he has some parts im intrested in sounds like it could be a good deal then i notice he has 0 posts and has been a member for a year not that its bad. Just raises a little flag for me to be cautious. Whata guys think

Thanks Josh

 

I wouldn't touch it!

 

i would get his phone number and email addy and talk with him some... ask if he has an ebay account and check his feedback there

 

if i did decide to buy this members parts I would do a transaction that has a deffinent way to trace the transaction (paypal,credit card).

I also woulod get any personal info from the member possible.

If for some reason he didnt want to cooperate with me in that way that would tell meto keep clear.

the items hes offering are a cam spring pushrods, stall, ASM LTs, 160 thermo and another item i cant remember all for 1800 he stats they are new in box (planned to install in 5.3 but decided to swap for a BBC of some type forgot what he said)

 

tell him to post it on ebay for sale, if his feedback is good there then buy it there where you'll have some protection

 

He just lurks here waiting for someone to come along and buy his goods? Not even a hello post in the New Member's area?
Sounds a bit fishey to me.

 

He has not even come on here an whored it up like I occationally do

 

if you were to do it, go paypal, they will refund your money and deal with him themselves

 

One funny thing that turns me off is that i did a search for this member name in posts and for threads started by him and there is no mention of him in any post nor has he started anythreads but he is a member

 

I personally wouldn't do it...
