I looked at the ebay item and it certainly looks legitimate to me. The seller has over 700 positive feedbacks and takes Paypal. Also he says that the turbine can be picked up locally if you're located close enough. I have purchased over 70 engines on ebay (2 of them turbines) and I'd like to think that I could spot a fraud.

I believe the jet is located in Florida, the home a bazillion turbine pilots. Why not just see if you can find one of your brother jet guys who may live close to where the turbine is located and ask for assistance?

Why call someone a "ripoff" before you're certain?
