A follow up to my previous submission. I am honest and generally accept that others are as well. I learned a life lesson on Ebay Unfortunately I got screwed on a deal. I was not the high bidder on an auction for a set of heads. After the auction the seller and I decided on a price for him to set me up with heads ported and ready to go just as in the auction. I sent a money order for $960.00 to cover the heads and shipping. It has been a year and a half and you know the rest of the story..No heads.. No money Returned. According to South Carolina BBB the company "James Williams Racing Engines" doesn't even exist. I got screwed..what am I going to do take him to small claims and spend $2000 doing it? I live in Ohio. What I am saying is do it through Ebay or at least use Paypal or a payment type that will allow you (customer) some options if things go bad.
