I'm sure you'll be fine, just keep your wits about ya.

Yeah , I Googled the address and it's not what you would call the 'premium " side of town , I'm sure it will be fine tho uncomfortable at best !I'll have the lift and straps ready before i pull into the driveway just a quick 4 minute engine lift and strap and dash ! I'll bet they learn how ebay works before listing anything again !

Well....... Sometimes even tho you've done nothing wrong you have to pick your battles , and my sixth sense tells me to pass on this whole mess , after a few one word responses to my emails requesting a contact phone number being refused and they have 0 ratings from E-bay the sketchy neighborhood and their refusal to help in anyway and even tho It would be a good score on an engine that may or may not be in the same condition as it was 2 days ago I'm going to pass on picking it up . But if someone close to Clarksville ,Tn wants it I'll pm you the address and you can get it for yourself .I'm just not going to drive for 4 hours one way to deal with ignorant people .

Hey Grumpy, I would go and get it. Take a buddy or two with you. I'm sure some local board members would gladly go along to help out. You won the auction fair and square. The seller may seem a little pissed and less than helpful but I would be a little pissed too if I had done something that stupid and had to sell my engine for a dollar. The point is he will get over it, lesson learned. Go pick up your engine and smile all the way home. If your really worried about the situation, call the local police, explain what's going on and why your apprehensive, and ask them to meet you over there to make sure all goes smoothly. If I were closer and had a truck and a hoist, I would get it. You won it man, go get it!
