Default Trusted used engine sellers

There are many firms selling used engines on eBay and other sites online. I'm interested in finding out which ones people here have had good experience with in terms of the engines being accurately represented and in good running condition, etc.
I know buying a used engine can be risky, just trying to determine who the reputable sellers are.

Tempting, but I was hoping for something with less miles.

Check time to time. They have engines with any miles.

Yeah mine is high miles but if you bought it when you leave you will know what you have. Any/all engines are on the way out its just a matter of time but one you dont hear/see run is a roll of the dice. Good luck with your search.
