For the most part, I believe that theory also. But it is not always true. It sounds to me like he is getting a great deal. If the guy is 50, I doubt that he is out to screw anyone on a deal. I would talk to the guy on the phone, reach an agreement, that Whichever of you sends first, e-mail a tracking number, then the other party ships, and e-mails a tracking number. Mich has a point, try offering to send the truck, then when you recieve the Revo, send the $80. Also, you can ask him if he has any trade references, or an e-bay listing, where you can check feedback....

Good Luck...
