I was warned several years ago by numerous Triumph guys. I did pick up a few pieces that were not available elsewhere, but picked them up in person. I paid cash and got no receipt. When I asked for one, the guy laughed at me. He asked for a deposit for a used cylinder head that he thought he could get for me: my turn to laugh.
I have seen him at a few local swap meets. I bet the IRS could cut this guy in half.
The weasels are everywhere.
