a mod should move this to the classifieds and make it a sticky. You guys should also put the people's names and email addresses on here, along with their PP name if they have one.

The sad thing is some people actually fall for that stuff, and Nick, you should be getting my check today or tomorrow.

Post any info you might still have on these folks. As many of you know, I sell a lot of parts here. But, if someone wanted to send stuff out of the country, used at that, I would probley not respond to them.
