the phone number is for a Leigh Young in Memphis Tenn. which is close and RCU says last name is Young maybe his waiver is there

Just an FYI....These engines were not purchased from Dreamworks Inventory....
I would be very suspicious of this ad!

Your suspicions are probably all valid.

On the other side of the fence, three years ago I bought a new Wren 44 Gold package from a seller who was strapped for cash and was unloading stuff. Got it for about 55% of new price, and it was in perfect condition. So these things are possible. However, one difference is that the seller was known to the modelling community, he didn't appear out of thin air.

Nope, no waiver holder named Young in TN. Only 4 in Memphis. Btw, the full list of waiver holders is available on the AMA site under members only documents.
Nonetheless, one or two people either got one heck of a great deal....or are currently trying to get thier money back.

And to top it off I live 30 minutes away from Byhalia and think I know just about every jet flyer in Mississippi. And most of the guys in the surrounding states.

Sorry for the late reply, but until few minutes ago I haven't been able to confirm the below information:

These 2 engines "dissapeared" on transit. Where part of a batch of engines sent to Brasil, 2 of them never arrived to destination. Customer just confirmed the S/N of the missing engines.

EDITED.

Reason: To clarify that the carrier (UPS) stated that engines where delivered to destination, but customer stated that the engines where never received.

Thanks for the update, that is why I emailed you personally about these. I knew something was up obviously up at that ridiculous price. Hope that something catches the thief that stole these, or the guy that is fencing them.

Wow, isn't that something! Good catch by all.

I reported these as fraud and got an email back saying they are not. Good Job RCU protecting us.

We can get all technical or we can use common sense. Common sense seems hard to find these days.

Not to defend RCU in anyway, but what proof did you have that it was fraud? RCU cannot simply remove ad's because somebody says "This is fraud" without proof. When I bought my CAI Raptor, I bought it turnkey, engine, radio, scuba tank, every single thing I needed, for $1800. Had it been posted on RCU at that price people would have screamed fraud. Bottom line is, sometimes there are killer deals out there, it's rare, but sometimes. If you flag an ad for fraud, you have to have proof, not just "a feeling".

Its just common sense, new user, posts two turbines half price. Very suspect. I have no proof just common sense. Perhaps that not enough to prove fraud but RCU could of gotten verification before allowing this new user to post these like that.
