Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Looks like a nice engine if you live in Missouri; dude wants $200 to ship.
How can you tell? It looks like a real crap shoot to me. Better be prepared for almost anything if bidding.
What would be a fair price to purchase something like this? I have a 79 1000 and could benefit from having a spare engine and would consider it if only I knew what to expect.
Just guessing it's in good shape based on the cosmetic condition and the fact that the guy says it has 4000 miles on it. Could be a POS, hard to say.
If I was in the market for a used engine I'd take my chances on it assuming the guy give off decent vibs when talking to him about the condition. As for price, not sure but I'd pay $200 no problem for something decent.

The shipping price is not out of line. Depends on where you live.. If you are close enough to drive? I would go for it, it's worth the gamble.. I got a spare 850 motor for < $20 + $20 in gas
Yes I am close enough to drive. Between 2-3 hours. I must have a closer look and perhaps try to steal one like you did for < $20. Nice catch.
