After reading this post,I opened all the boxes to make sure the items I purchased was really in the boxes. Well >
...The 74MM throttle body was listed as NEW! I'm convienced that it's a very good condition factory rebuild. Very clean but I can see light scrape markings where crud had been scraped away in some of the outer body cavities. Also there's light impressions on the 4 bolt flange proving it had been previously mounted. I paid $184.00 for it before shipping. Considering E-Bay has nasty oil caked one's going for $100.00 to $150.00,I guess I should be happy I got a factory rebuild. Thanks for who all exposed this and I hope no members got taken badly.

You nailed it. I too spent a little time talking with him and his entourage (whomever they were) and we talked about his back problem as I shared a similar problem prior to my retirement from the AF; while they seemed distant, to me I just took it as being private. One now has to wonder if they somehow didn't steal the XF and just chop it up...at this point who gives a damn.
To think they traveled all the way to the Dragon just to pull some sort of stunt like this just crazy. All I can add at this point is thank you Rudy for being who you are and I appreciate the kindness you exemplify of many I've met on this forum. As to our new friends, while I still hope it just isn't true, I trust Rudy and Valky to be stand up people and if they back you on this, I can only say thank you for bringing this to our attention.
To the "perps", one of these days, your crap is gonna cross the wrong person and I suspect prior to whatever end state they leave you in, the lead up to it will be very painful.
