I hope that no one else has an experience like mine. Here's a quick summary:
I posted on the buy/sell page, WTB CAT 22 Bottom Rollers, and gave my name and phone number. A few days later I got a call from a man who identified himself as Alan L. Kahn. He said that he was contacted by an ACMOC member and friend who lives in California telling him about my post. He said he lives in New Mexico, but was in Nevada (I traced his cell phone to Fallon, NV) for a closing on his deceased father's house. He said that his father was a CAT guy and happened to have twelve CAT 22 bottom rollers that had been rebuilt, including new shafts, with collars. He said he had to clear out all the CAT stuff, and that time was critical because of the house closing. He also said that there was a club member in Washington State who also wanted some of the rollers. He called me back after he checked on shipping costs, and we agreed on a price for the rollers. Because he was not at his home the only way to get the money to him was via Western Union. He said he would get the rollers to UPS and call me back with the tracking number. I got several other calls from him with progress toward shipping the rollers, the last one saying that he was taking the rollers to a friend in Sacramento, CA for shipping. Then the calls stopped and there was no answer when I tried to call him, many times. The last time I called I got a recording that the phone number was no longer active.
If any club member has any information that would help me track down this guy I would appreciate your help. Ray
