Anything under $5k is essentially of no interest to anyone, as it's
below the federal limit.
If it was via the marketplace here, please post the name+email, or at

BTW- Robert Postupak apparently makes the rounds via various
enthusiast groups. A number of listers got ripped off by him, and
just a few weeks ago, someone posted to the 200q20v list saying they
found his name after trying to buy some Saab parts from him.
