Re. Just in case you might know about this person

[Ben Swann]

Most likely it's a scam and I've never heard of either of those persons.  There are many
scam attempts from bogus buyers that get our email from the marketplace. Usually it is
obvious from their writing, but they can be found out quickly by asking questions about
the parts origin or to supply a picture.

I'd surmise that even shipping a door overseas would be cost prohibitive.  Why not get a
door from someone in the good ol' USA - like me or Chris Semple or someone nearby?
There are plenty of folks who have parted them out.  The only reason I'd get a part from
Europe is if it is a Euro only part, and then I'd want to verify that person is legit..

I don't know where you are located, but surely a safer bet to deal with someone that
posts on this list.  I have the door if no one else steps up to the plate - I must not
have seen your ad earlier or figured you are on the west coast and could find shipping
cheaper from someone closer.

Dear Lister:

I am in need of a 20V left rear door, and this gentleman in UK offered me the door for
sale.   However, I am a bit worried about sending money to someone I don't know.  In
fact, a couple of months ago, I did jut that and lost $150 to a person named Curtis
Price.  So, I don't want to repeat the same thing.

Sorry for the long introduction.  Have you heard of Francis Bacon, no, not that famous
historic person, but present day person in UK that might be known to some of you who
might have purchased Audi parts from?

Please let me know if that person is trustworthy or not, if you know about him.
Francis, if you are reading this post, please understand that I recently had a bad
experience and lost a chunk of money by the scam artist.   Shin]
