[DeTomaso] Anyone close to Banks (Portland) Oregon Scammer?? I do not think so.

[Kjetil Finne]

Hi Boyd

Thanks for the advice in your e-mail below, but I do not think this is a 
scammer.
I did talk to this guy at the phone and he is an local entrepreneur 
selling of some equipment that he does not have use for, which I happen 
to need.
You were asking what it is he is selling. I wish you would not have 
asked, because I have to reveal one of my secrets. I am not only a car 
nut, I love all kinds of machines as long as they do have an engine. I 
just bought an 17000Lbs excavator out of Seattle which is going to ship 
within a couple off weeks.
The item in question is an powertilt for an excavator priced at 750$. 
The price is really good if the unit works, but is ok even if it is an 
repair object.
The problem with an wire transfer from Norway is that it takes close to 
a week.
I would not leave any responsibility onto a friend for the unit itself, 
just the responsibility to hand this guy the money so it will be mine.

Best regards

Kjetil
