Ill see if he will do COD, if not Im not doing it. Too much money to get screwed on... plus with closing on a house next week, this isnt probably the smartest thing to do... LOL. But then again... look at the amount of money we all put in our boats.. lol
Hell if anybody is near buy Owensboro Kentucky... Ill pay ya to check it out and ship it for me. Name your price...LOL

FYI greedy people are the easiest victims for scammers.......they look past the obvious red flags because they are blinded by the gold in the future!

For such a "screaming deal" it's worth it to make the drive there so you can see it first hand then pay cash. There is so much that can go wrong, even possibility for receiving stolen property. The super low price on an item can be legit, just beware Usually if it's too good to be true....

I've got a good buddy that lives in Owensboro and is a boater. If you are really serious, I can see if he would be willing to take a look at it for you. Additionally, I would post this down in one of the regional sections and see if someone from Owensboro will step up.

I agree this might not be the right move... it would be quick money on re sell. Thats it. Even though I COULD use this with my 490hp 383 with my boat... but the SS has held up just fine(knock on wood).

I have the opportunity to buy something I need off the powerboat swap shop on facebook which Im sure most of you know about. My question is how do you guys go about payment with the seller has no paypal account and say its 1000.00 bucks... I feel pretty weird about sending a money order to that person I dont know and isn't local to me... what if he doesn't send the freakin thing?? I know Im probably being paranoid, but I'm a very paranoid person when it comes down to buying something from someone i dont know and on top of the fact they are 1,000 miles away. Are there any ways to insure your protected? I have the guys home address, facebook and phone number... thing is he doesn't have a paypal account... hes a little old school.
Its just there are crazy stupid people in this world and Im not about to get screwed over of 1000 bucks... thats a crap load of money for me. The item Im buying is worth times that so... even IF it needs a rebuild Ill still will be ahead of the game.
ANY comments welcome...
