First of all I hate it that you got screwed, but the first red flag should have been a pair of iron headed 572's with an 8-71 blower that appears to be under driven by about 25% isn't going to make anywhere near 1000hp. Hopefully you have enough good parts there to make something out of them.
Seller told him they were 10-71s

Greg from New Zealand here, i brought a set of 280K planes via ebay from him, hard to deal with, tabs were not the condition stated and as i airfreighted them to Nz "not cheap". Having to strip and rebuild so really should have brought new.
After reading your post i won't be seeking product from him again. This was before i became part of this great web site,

It’s almost a pity he’s banned because he probably doesn’t see how he’s getting trashed on here.

he's had that list for a fairly long while..
I doubt it would make a difference to him if he was following along

Maybe he’s googled his name and it’s come up on OSO so he can follow along in silence. Ha!
