You are right greasemonkey, there are great people everywhere on the planet, even in New England. No offense directed at good people
That guy is an amatuer dealer, he is all over Ebay, and has gear and bits posted on several forums. He is not just a guy with some extra kit looking to raise some cash.

If you bought something, kept it a year, never took it out of the box...It's Used!

Bought new in 2003, used 8 or 10 times and no scuffs or stains. Paid $600.00 at BMW of wherever, will take $550.00 plus shipping.
ARE THESE GUYS ON CRACK????????
