I got mine from him too, i just installed it day b4 yesterday, and i went from not being able to even make the tires chirp in first, to now, being able to floor my car in 1st from a 5mph roll and not getting traction again until mid 2nd gear

Install is easy but NOT WITHOUT THE RIGHT TOOLS
it took me about half an hour using a flex magnetic pickup, a 14'' extension and a 1/4 drive 12mm flex socket
Tools cost me 17 bux

The CEL will NOT BE TRIPPED by a bad knock sensor EVER. You have to pull codes to find out if your sensor is bad!

What does a knock sensor usually sell for?

Dealers want $160+
Discounted dealers want $125-$140
Parts bin is about $115 (I think)
eBay $90

Almost half the price of a regular dealer

Since the KS is small, the guy doesn't charge too much shipping and I'm guessing he ships it via USPS First Class mail? First Class sounds nice, but it's the cheapest and slowest

I bought a game once and the guy shipped it by First Class mail and it sounded nice, but it took like 10 days to come... Bastard charged me $4 for s/h and it was only $1 something
