he says:

Yes the cam was run for about 15k before the cam bolt backed out and destroyed my engine. There is some light rust on it as well which I will polish off.

I wouldn't run it for free either. And if I was the seller I'd probably just heave it in the trash.

If he can seriously ask $70 for that, maybe i can get like $50 or so for my '00 LS1 crankshaft....
