Read how this guy tried ripping someone off, and lying about it.

It's about 75 pages, just read the first 3 or so then flip to around page 30

That is why I never buy anything from someone that I cannot "physically touch".

No matter how good of a "deal" I can get over the internet; I know there are creeps out there just waiting to steal my money !!!

I love that thread... I've only read to page 45 though. Massive ownage over the internet is always great to read about.

This is why I use paypal.... I can always get my money back if the product is damaged or not sent.

I've sold a few items on the net, and always sent them C.O.D. Plus I test the item,take pictures of it and let them know exactly what they're getting.

I haven't been burned yet, and hope that it doesn't happen

Had a paypal account for a while, just never used it.
Plus I hate their spam. even though I don't really think that it's from them

I have a 87' S10 and I have a billet grille, euro taillights, neon underglow kit, and cold air intake.... Everything i just named came off of Ebay.. You just have to make sure the person has a good feedback. I preferebly order from 98% and up..

Ebay is more secure then just buying from individuals, which is what was going on here

I kinda think that Mango, the guy with the lifter noise that's going through 2 quarts of oil every week or 2 should talk to you. I think that he's new and might not have seen your thread

There's just so much extra expense changing a 2.8L into a 4.3L.
He's probably better of with a 3.4L, or a v8 swap.
Even with a good price on the motor, like you were offering

I did the 3.4 swap on mine and i am very impressed with the difference.. No, it's not the same as the 4.3, but it's not the same as the 2.8...
