Ebay...?
Do you guys think I would be safe to buy a B18C1 off ebay? It seems to be the cheapest way. Or should I spend the extra 500 or so and get it from http://www.hmotorsonline.com or something like that?

Re: Ebay...? (LiL Jon)
i think ebay only covers you for like 250 dollars
if you get scammed, there is little you can do, especialy if they covered their tracks
you make an ebay account from an internet cafe, have a bunch of friends buy stuff from you and leave you feedback
advertise whatever, get the money, walk away, end of story, pull one operation like that once a month you dont even need a job.
only large transactions from ebay that i would do, is from established firms that simply choose to do business on ebay, atleast they have a physical location and a valid telephone number.

I'll give you a good reason. Two years ago me and 4 other guys got scammed out of $2,800 each for B18C1 complete swaps. Scammers suck

I never got anything back, and the worst part of it was that $2,000 of that $2,800 was a loan. I ended up paying $96.00 a month for two years for an engine that I didn't even have!
Me and those other 4 guys worked our asses off for that money, and them some dick ripped us off. I hope he burns in hell...wherever he is!

Re: Ebay...? (H23AHybridEG)
The big thing about ebay is there feedback. I've don't alot of shopping off of ebay and haven't had any problems so far. I bought my turbo kit off of there for 2500 and got everything I paid for.

Id say if the ebay seller has really high feedback (over 500 with a excellent rating) and has sold motors in the past and recieved good feedback on them then it would be ok to buy. Otherwise I wouldnt risk it
