I was close. This part of the conversation threw up the flag for me. Hate to hear you got scammed. Had changed my mind and was going to just drive there to pick up what I needed but looks like I’m going to save 7 hours of driving.

As sad as it is, I think of Eddie Murphy in Trading Places this time of year.

I’ve been scammed by the buyer with PayPal a few times.
They try to beat you up in price, finally give into your price, then when they get the part file a claim but refuse to return it.

One general rule of thumb I go by is that if it is a Gmail address, chances are it is a scam. I see it ALL over Craigslist and Facebook. Gmail address's are SOOOO easy to start. Before you all jump in my ****, I'm not saying all are scams. Just in my experience.
