I'm from Maine and the engine is in Washington. The engine sounds like a good deal at $3000.00 but is not worth the expense to fly and see.
I just don't feel comfortable sending that kind of money to a private party I don't know. I was just curious if any one knew a way both parties could be protected in a transaction like this. The person selling the engine is most likely a honest guy but you hear so many stories about people being scewed by scammers. Thanks for the help.
