My hunger to have the "last" critical part lead me to pay an exhorbanet amount for a common part, not what I needed. Even from an established POC, be wary what you want, need and if the answers are not clear wave off your purchase.

Don't beat yourself up paying a high price for a part that might be common or not but the last part you need and you just want to get things done. Your time and stress level have a value too that need to be considered. Hopefully some of the insight freely given on this forum helps others with the learning curve. Just don't let the need overshadow the warning signs of a crooked seller.

Have been subjected to exact same scam techniques in past. Thankfully, didn't get caught up in their theft. As result, I only do business with people I know and trust. People like Bob, Fred, Paul, Stan, Jay and couple others whose names escape me at the moment. Will add Randy to the honor list as soon as he decides to let go of a certain couple pieces that are basically non-attainable. :)...
Be diligent and keep both eyes wide open. If it sounds too good, it probably is. Who had the saying, there's a sucker born every minute. Don't be the sucker...

Randy, be sure to lay down two long strips of rubber as you exit the parking lot for the last time.   That's a pretty damn good feeling.
