Good to hear this post helped some people and thank you nhra-trans-am for banning this user. Just a last warning guys, watch out for this technique because this guy/guys without posts or feedback can just make another username.

I always ask for a picture with their username, date, AND the parts. If the seller doesn't have the time to do that then I don't have the time to pay them for anything.

I think this guy just tried to get me ( tidussloan ). He was trying to sell me a fast 90. He just started this name today and has a zero trader rating. He was wanting me to send money western union and gave me a crazy story why he doesnt use paypal. Hopefully this helps you guys.

Buying parts online isn't always bad. You just have to make sure that the person has good trader and accepts paypal. Paypal is your best friend when it comes to buying stuff online. If you don't get your parts, you can always dispute the transaction. That is why most of these guys won't accept paypal.

Tidussloan is a piece of ****. He tried to get me, at the time I was enticed with a cheap price but wanted more info. No trader feedback or post and no paypal. I said with no documentation I wasnt going to send him anything. His response was "I have my reasons for not using paypal. Sorry". That reason is because you're a scammer ******.

Wouldn't be hard to set this guy up, just need someone in the area to be at the western union when he comes to pick up the money. Hell, for that matter you can probably have a local cop accompany you and have him arrested on suspicion of theft by deception once he signs for the money. Then at least he won't come back here trying this scam again.
