Safest way to buy parts

[Eliminator21vdrive]

Anyone have a tried and true way of purchasing used parts long distance that you can guarantee part functionality?

Visa/contest?

With all due respect....are you dumb? There is no guarantee, warranty, or otherwise on anything used....you have to take the word of the seller or look at it (like I do on anything used) as a rebuildable core

To add to that, unless you are buying in person I wouldn't even expect the correct part to be "shipped."
If you know someone in the area that has a dyno I guess you could have it "tested" that expense may negate the "purchasing used parts" part.

Get ahold of Carson Brummett and ask if he can review the ad or the pictures for you and maybe even call the seller on your behalf and ask some tough questions about how used, what condition they are in, etc.

I don’t think anyone knows more about Gentry than Carson.

I am working with the seller for more images.

I have talked with him and know part is correct.

There isn’t and always a risk. When I sell
Something and it’s rare I only do
Local pick up so the buyer can see what they are actually getting and I dont have to deal with chargebacks etc.

Same for buying prefer local pick up so I can see what I am buying in person make sure I’m getting what I expect. There are something’s I get shipped used but are normally something simple like a cable or straps etc.

Did sell a prop here years ago and had to ship it. Buyer paid it and gave best despcriotion I could sale did go smooth though
