Well the guy did answer my PMs he seemed like a good guy well as much as you can tell over the net.
BUT as I did some investigating on some other sites it seems that of the post he does have on other sites are mainly an exact copy of the PM he sent me. Plus he was warned on another site to stop tryin to sell his parts in other people threads.
Anyways i will not be dealing with this guy at all.
Again thanks for the replys

This situation may not have been the best, but I can tell you that there are
some of us who have low posts (or 0) because we read (and most of the
questions are already answered), search, and don't feel like filling threads
with posts that add nothing.
I have recently contacted a couple of people that were looking for
something and I'm more than willing to do anything to make them feel
comfortable buying something from me, but it is not worth ANYTHING near
what this person was selling. When buying anything (even from people with
a bunch of posts), I try to be as careful a possible (after being burnt
before).

I dont have a high post count either but i more or less based my decision on his other posts in diff forums.
Since sometime in 2005 the guy has posted the same post word for word in other peoples threads trying to sell his stuff even other members had to tell him to stop.
I just personally didnt get a good vibe from it. Who knows i coulda just passed up a good deal but for me just better to be safe then out $1500

Sounds like an Ebay'er who hits the forums up as well. An ebay'er will copy and post alot cuz they have alot of **** going on at once. Still not right.

If i was local to him and able to check out his parts that would be a different situation.
If anyone is local it may be intresting to just see what this guy does have and what the deal is with his parts.
