There's one vendor "Roldolfo Alonso" who has quite a few 
engines advertised as "new" and he shows photos of what 
are supposed to be crated engines.  One, opened, shows 
and engine which - from the exhaust system - I would guess 
were intended for static applications [the (in)famous gas 
line pump engines?]   The prices seem a little low for 
new, $4000 for a four-port RX-8, that I wonder about their 
origin (stolen? Salvage from a burned warehouse, or a 
wrecked transport?)

The vendor has no history - a  big red flag for me.
