Then... a week later we hear that the seller came through. $475 top. What a bargain. "Seller" has established credibility... people start sending money for parts... and get scammed.
I would suggest that a proper scammer would be on a variety of forums (i.e. Ford. Chevy, Honda, Mercedes, etc.).
The moderators should better vet new members going forward.

Yeah, I don't think "Marksman" is a scammer.... I mean.... Who'd EVER say they're from Idaho if ti weren't true?
