I seen a couple of threads on honda-tech where members got ripped off on ebay buying crate motors, now these are starting under evo community as well. Page on the bottom shows a Buschur short block being sold for $600, do NOT buy it!!! Look at the feedback

Seems legit to me. Buy with confidence.

 

I've been a ebayer for almost 13yrs. I bet this thief is switching username. I wonder if ebay can track his IP- I will try to report this. Thanks for the heads up. And do you have actual threads from any sites about this fraud? honda-tech?240SX, etc forums?

 

Thanks for the heads up.

General rule of thumb; if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is...

 

thanks for the heads up but for future visitors of this site, anything related to ebay links should be also screenshot then posted as those ebay links are almost always dead after 2-3 months sometimes sooner....

 

Ask for the address because you want to pick it up overnight because your located in new york

 

Lol. Buschur short block for $600 shipped. Let me send PayPal NOW! TAKE MY MONEY!

 

I've messaged him requesting an address stating I'd like to pick it up. I'll update with a response if I get one which I highly doubt.

eBay is such a ****ing joke. They don't have the staff to keep scammers off the site, you gotta go with feedback history and your gut feeling.

If you pay with PayPal, never send payment as a gift and if you can, always use your credit card when paying on PayPal. Your card company will always do a chargeback, no question. Your bank will try to **** you if you paid via your checking account. At that point, your nuts are in a vice and waiting for PayPal to decide if they want to give you your money back.

 

I saw an ams crate motor for 1000 yesterday lol

 

Well, like someone above said, "if it to good to be true, than it probably is". $600.00 for a built shortblock, pfft.

 

l0ol, that's redicilous.. good catch!
