Well, I finally got this engine, did not pick it up yet, but it is mine. The CL seller told me he would hold it for me. I talked with him on Tuesday. Emailed him back and forth about 6 times, requested pics because at $75 I thought it was probably too good to be true. I Finally get the pics on Sunday night. Monday I ask him if Tuesday is good time to pick it up, he says yes. Then the wife tells me she has a dr appointment, so Tuesday is no good, I tell him this in email Monday. No response. I call him Tuesday morning he responds, "Uh, it's sold, the wife made me sell it".
New buyer puts it on ebay same day, I email him and explain that the guy sold it out from under me, he says I can have it for $400 because he is a good guy. I decide to wait out the auction, I bid with 2 seconds left and I win for $277.55

Happy ending to a weird story. ;D
Obviously, guy on CL is a scumbag. Cool that it only cost an extra $200, still a nice deal. Assume you're close enough to pick it up?

I live 2.5 hours away, but have somebody in NJ picking it up for me, will drop it off when he makes the trip here to buy a different engine from me. Yes, the CL guy is a creep, as we would say in Brooklyn!
