Well, I did a similar thing last month. I received a response to a wanted ad I placed in the
San Antonio Express News, for Power Wagons of course.
I was vulnerable, and two of my prankster friends called me to tell me about (2) PWs owned by their grandfather, and they wanted $1000.00. I had a strong feeling that it was them, but I wanted to believe.
So I got excited and posted my potential find here on this site. Well, I was had, I felt raped, no molested.
So, I guess the lesson is, don't post till you know for sure. Look at the bright side, at least you did not travel cross country to look like an arse.
As far as the WD-21, don't buy it unless that was what you were looking for, or you are going to turn it over for profit, conscience permitting.
As fas as the conscience thing goes, the truck was for sale at the price the owner had chosen,
you were not trying to swindle him, and it is not your duty to offer more money than he wanted for it.
