On balance, I would guess that he isn`t trying to decieve, he does accept returns, but does also admit to not knowing anything about aircraft parts. I`m also always suspicious when someone feels the need to stipulate that they “try to be as honest as possible in the description”, that sets off alarm bells straight away.

I still think that this perennial t–t (below) should have his own thread, because he knows just what he is doing:

RARE!..you bet, it`s from a Hercules powered Mosquito http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-Internal-engine-case-cover-Mosquito-HK228-18-9-44-Operation-Market-Garden-/321711738934?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae7839036

German roller bearing? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Internal-propellor-bearing-RAF-Spitfire-BM261-s-d-5-5-42-by-ace-pips-priller-/361257744093?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item541ca3b6dd

Al Deere`s Spitfire I suddenly fitted with a Merlin 66…http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Part-number-merlin-electrical-engine-part-Spitfire-R6981-s-d-15-8-40-Godmersham-/321711901494?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae7860b36
