Hey @kgschlosser This thread was temporarily taken down out of concern it was a scam, apparently. Anyways, I have paypal so that is perfectly fine. Also happy to send you a verification image of the radiator at any time if you like. I can add a custom note to a picture or something. It's unfortunate my very first posting was flagged but it is what it is.

What is "unfortunate" is when someone shows up on the forum, takes someone's money, and leaves, and your situation rang several alarm bells. The post was reported as "suspicious" due to you never having posted on the forum prior to this as well as Venmo seemingly being a favorite vehicle for scammers. A second report suggested that the pictures had been recycled from an older for-sale thread and the thread was taken down to allow some investigation.

For reference, most of the VerticalScope forums do not allow classified postings, or even access to the sub-forum until a number of posts and several days (the numbers vary) of membership.

Thanks John, totally get it. Those are good rules to abide by and it's unfortunate that this is the time we live in. Learned the hard way with this forum I guess. A couple of notes for you and other mods;

- Having an item to sell is what brought me to the forum in the first place. It would take me months to sell this radiator on Craigslist if I was lucky. I use Venmo as do most of my friends so it's a common avenue of payment/transfer. While I also have Paypal, I use it 1/10 of the times I use Venmo. Lastly, the recycled images notion was a farce. The person making the "second report" did so off what is clearly foggy or totally inaccurate memory. They should perform better due-diligence next time. As a brad-new member and first time poster, not a great start. I do get the paranoia though and can respect it.

Never heard of VericalScope before so I'll have to see what that is all about here shortly. If you had any hand in unfreezing my post earlier, thank you JohnWR. I just got a Solstice last year and have recently started my first round of personal upgrades. This is my first part to sell and exposure to this community to start asking my ownership questions and concerns. I hope the rest of my experiences here goes well for us all =)

VerticalScope is the owner of this fotum (and many others) . You will find their name at the bottom of the page.

While incorrect, the memory of a previous For-Sale post wasn't quite a "farce" and you might see some similarities between your post and this one: FS: HAHN Intercooler

So, a belated welcome to the forum, and a suggestion that you go to the New Member area and post an introduction. Everyone also likes to see pictures of your car in it's native habitat.
