Can it really be $3600? I certainly doubt it.

 

[charlie_the_tuna]

doesnt seem possible.

you've got to classify that one under "to good to be true".....intentionally left out the 1, that should have been placed in front of the 3600, just to generate a flood of phone calls

 

[chumbucket]

That's what I was thinking. :

 

[phester]

another scammer....lets sic the TinMan on him!!!

 

[TheTinMan]

Didn't anyone email him yet?.....I'm on it!

 

[TheTinMan]

If it's right (which we know it ain't) I'm raisin my transom 5 inches and hangin that baby on it! It's more than 100 lbs. than my 200 Merc :-/ I'll just move my batteries forward and the console forward a foot or so ......and stick MJ on the bow, that should do it!

 

[chumbucket]

;D ;D ;D 8)Don't get too optomistic Tin. ;D

 

[TheTinMan]

Moi? I think I invented the saying "If it sounds to good to be true..." I was just screwin around....although I did email him, along with probably 1,000 other people, lol.

"Sorry, I JUST sold that one but I DID just get another one in in even BETTER shape but this one is more money........"

;D :

of course you did......sales propaganda

 

[TheTinMan]

Picking it up at noon today! Talked him down to 3,000 cash!









































haha....gotcha! Still no email from him.

 

[TheTinMan]

Just got an email back from seller. I did ask for a phone number but he didn't give it. I want to see what he says when I say I don't want it shipped and I will pick it up! Has to be a scammer!

His email:

Hi,

The motor is still on for sale,and the asking price is US $3,600 with shipping included.It will come fully equiped and has just 105 HRS.Curently the motor is located with me in Canada and the shipping will done from here.
I hope you still are interested in this motor.

Please reply and confirm the interest!

Thanks!

This ought to be good. 8) I want to see how he gets out of this. He's either scamming, or the motor is stolen.

 

[phester]

tell the guy you live in Lake Placid, about an hours drive, you'll be there shortly ;D

 

[macojoe]

No need to close the transom Tin, just add a jack plate!

And if this guy is for real and you get the motor, can I have the old one??

I had to get in there before someone else did!! ;D

At that price I no care if its stolen!! If its stolen its for me!!

I think he left the "1" out...should be $13600 ...

Yea, but think how nice it would be to have another 5" of transom height to help keep water out!

I'm sure this is a scam, he's gonna want payment then he will ship(but I doubt he even has this motor). I'm going to string him along...maybe I can scam him for a few bucks, we'll see if he answers my last email.

ThinK maybe he's stupid enough to post a stolen engine?
