well, to be honest it's always a 50/50 chance that you might get screwd. thats the chance you take. in my opinion i wouldn't do it. now you can try and see if there is people on the site that know or have delt with this guy and maybe they can vouch for him.

good luck

well first you can try and send him one piece and have him send you one so u can see the trust issue or if he is not that far maybe you can both drive half way and meet so where and swap

I would look at his number of posts and see how long he has been a member of H-T.

Also search all of his past posts and read over them to see if he is a good guy (honest and not some e-thug).

Use a credit card. That way, if he scams you your credit card company can help you get your money back.

maybe he can send half the turbo, and you give him half the money... once you get it, send him the other half. have him send you the rest.. then send your parts once u get the other half.. i would use paypal. and then if he doesnt send the parts, you can send a frad complante.
