I've bought stuff from him, and talk to him 1-2x/mo at the swaps. I
haven't had such bad luck with him, and in my experience he means well,
but I do agree you have to know what you're getting from him and what it's
worth. Not so different from any big item purchase. Get a manifest of part
numbers and quantities, and a written warranty/T&C, and you should be
okay.

He's the "SNMP BABY" guy.
