Musings..

How stupid would you have to be to buy an airplane sight-unseen at Ebay
motors? Just marginally stupid or something close to incredibly stupid?

I'm not going to do it.. but it is temping to throw a bid in there.
Russian roulette, yeah, but, heck, there's 6 cylinders in a revolver.
:-) Seriously, I'd guess it's pretty rare for somebody to really get
burned that way. Especially since any dishonesty would be grounds for a
lawsuit. But, I don't want to be one of the unlucky "few"..


Well, I have.... does that make me stupid...? Don't answer that..


Bottom line is (1) know the product, (2) do your homework, and (3)
caveat emptor.
