More proof that this guy is a running a scam... 
  
I contacted him again two days ago with this note: 
I plan on bidding on the RB26DETT that you have listed on ebay. I am also in TX and will come pick up the motor and pay in cash if I am the high bidder. If this is a problem, please let me know. 
  
And here is the reply that I received today: 
I'm sorry but local pickup is not possible. It's not a shop and I haven't  
this swap at my home. And i accept only bank wire. 
  
Um, yeah...my cash is no good here? And if you have the motor listed in TX but it isn't at your house or at a shop, where could it be? Hmmmmm...yeah sure, let me wire transfer $4+k to someone (a) I don't know ( I don't trust after seeing this same auction listed 3 times on ebay and ©who fails to make sense of the motors current location. 
  
Thank you, drive through
