Actually, I do... wish it were a bit closer though.

email sent. 4 days, hmmm...... I may be a tad late....

Personally I hate ads of this type where the seller is threatening the potential buyer with "if not sold by this Sat. I'm going to scrap it" however the price is firm at $100.00 (very fair for the motor but not the point). So let me get this straight, if I want the motor I need to come to your home in my vehicle, present you with $100.00, no less, and most likely have to load the thing into my vehicle. However if no one shows up your going to haul it out of your place, load it into your vehicle, drive it to the scrap yard, wait to have it weighed and then take 25 cents a pound for mixed scrap or about $30.00 for the motor......Really???? Seems kind of stupid don't it?

Yep, I like the often added notice of:
NO SCAMMERS!![/i][/u]

If I WANTED to con you, this ^^^ wouldn't stop me. But ask my Admiral, I can be an arse-whole some times

Yep, or the ones that state "Price is good this weekend only. After it sits in my garage until spring the price will double."

The "No Scammers" thing always cracks me up. What if I really am a Nigerian Prince? They need boat motors too.

Um, I think those are Somali pirates that need OB's, not princes
