Ive never heard of the seller but I have NOS German T3 mufflers in stock for $125, and nobody ever seems interested. I guess I really need to post some stuff on the Samba, I know it's the best sight on the net for general AC VW, but I really need to make a note of hopping over there more often.

Last October I bought a NOS muffler on The Samba from Billy Dobbs, alias lowfatbug@yahoo.com at the VdubHobby Shop, Mckinney, Texas. I sent him the cash including shipping (Total $185 if I remember correctly) and he confirmed receipt. He then went quiet for a week or so, and when I chased, he confirmed shipping by sea mail as agreed. In February I contacted him and he gave a story of the shipping company having a fired employee who ripped the labels off the packing of some parcels. Since then he has not replied to my mails. I mailed him a week ago warning that I would report this on The Samba and the T34 and T3 lists if he didn't respond within a week. No response, which doubles my suspicions. You can draw your own conclusions as to whether this is a scam or just an unfortunate shipping loss. Everett, is there some kind of feedback rating on The Samba that can be used for registering this unfortunate transaction?
