I bought my first 911 sight unseen in Columbus OH off this forum almost 20 years ago. The car was as advertised. I didn’t bother with a PPI, just trusted the seller and it worked out OK.
I bought an Indian MC off Craigslist sight unseen in Boston and had it shipped up with TFX, another great transaction.
I bought a unimog sight unseen off of eBay and again this time in NY. It was shipped up and was fine.
I later ‘bought’ another unimog off the shipper of my first unimog… I got screwed on that one. That guy is still in jail for his little scam.

My lesson that I learned on this deal is to at least google the seller / buyer to see if they are legitimate and known for scamming people.
