I think it did. Specially since I now have my money back. Scammers tend to commit once they have the dough.
I think maybe the price it went for and the size they just didn't know where to start in order to get it shipped. I'm sure he said at one point he was selling for a it friend. So there is another factor of randomness to add in.
Would have loved to have that thing sat in the garage to work on and get back 100% restored though!
O well was never to be. lol
