    I fot and email from Christian last night he does seem legit , hard to prove either way wether the engine was stolen or not . I don’t think I’ll be buying any engines from overseas again I’m 19 k out of pocket now
    Did you use a credit card though paypal? if yes make a claim with the credit card company.

    same just happened to me a couple days ago, posted looking for an offshore mid, member (Drverados) pm'd me to email a johnmellos, this person then emailed me back with pictures of the midsection, this person then said they shipped the item before making the deal, luckily i asked them a question about this mid to see if they had any real knowledge about it and they didnt know the answer, then found out that member (Drverados) is banned. Luckily i never sent any payment. the person i was emailing kept trying to get me to send the payment via a crypto currency transfer which seemed suspicious to me.

    That stuff happens on all free for sale web sites thats why it is worth it to pay to list anything for sale. Even thought you think its free it truly isn't. Lesson Learned.

    I've had nothing but great transactions here on S&F . If I need it bad enough, I pick it up in person with cash no matter where it is in the country. So far, many props and 2 outboards, 0 problems

    I'm really sorry to hear about your experience but I can confirm there are lots and lots of great, honest members here. Like many Canadian members I buy all kinds of stuff from US members, up to and including boats, and (knock on wood), I've never had an issue. It's really good to do some due diligence on the member and call them to feel them out first. For bigger transactions a ZOOM/FaceTime call is even better.
    Any by the way I've shipped stuff to Australia twice and England once; there are people here happy to do that to help OB enthusiasts in other areas.

    Still at it. John mello was the name used. This guy is quite smooth. And must have access to the engines. He offered to take a picture with the engines and my name? But using same reference emails as have been mentioned in this and other threads. I guess "phil" has moved from Arizona to Toronto LoL. And the price. These engines would be picked up by any dealer for easy more. English good. Too good. Maybe a dealer could check the serial number of the engine in the photo?

    i have nothing but good experiences on here buying parts. I have had no issues. But the men I dealt with are longtime members. You just need to use wisdom. Be leery of those who have no posts in other places......or just joined SF.

Nothing I hate worse than a thief.
