Anyone deal with this Mopar person before?

Was making a parts inquiry from a craigslist ad and texted a number and started chatting with someone. Prices were sky high, but found something small to buy. No paypal, no credit card accepted. Check/money order only.

Google the name and place; quite disconcerting

I also did a search and saw a number of people who claimed they had been ripped off and that he was very difficult to contact. I was curious to know if anyone on this board had dealt with him. Needless to say I won't be sending any money. Besides, after hearing his prices on just a couple items, I quit asking. His stuff must be gold plated.

I've never bought anything but he use to be a fixture @ Spring Fling every years... I know people that have bought from him.. He always had allot of stuff.... Most of it was clean/rust free & well presented... And asking top $$$$....

Been to his yard. Nothing positive to say about what he was trying to sell.

I was in need of some backing plates and he had them. My dealings with him were fine.
Not the cheapest, but fair, i thought.

Did you send him money or did you pick up the parts?
