RE: Buying precautions
I sold a turbine here on RCU before. The guy wired the money to my account and i held it for two weeks to make sure it clears my bank and is. He was not happy with the wait but i kept in touch with him ontill the end of the 2 weeks hold. I call the guy and give him the tracking #after he got the engine a couple of months later i call him again and ask him if he is happy with is engine, he was very happy.
Sometime you have to go the extreme route to make sure you are not getting ripped off.
