Default Scam or not?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...144070153&rd=1

Been watching this auction and I really want this motor. It's exactly what I'm planning to build in the next couple months except it's already all done for me!

I'm worried about the only 14 feedback though. It looks like he's already sold one of these motors but i don't know. Also, if it turns out to be a piece of ----, I'll at least be out the $500 I'll have to spend to have it shipped out here.

Thoughts?
