You guys HAVE to check this out!!!! what a RIP OFF@!!!
 
Dude I have never ever seen anything more of a rip off than this
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-c...erid=yehbunnie

If you have EVER worked on your boat and had to hit West marine or comparible boat supply store like boaters world, you will know exactly what this is IMMEDIATELY without having to look any further
Maybe this is how some people can afford cigs and stuff
hey I wonder if you take about 20 of them and line em all up along the top of your back seat and turn them all on, and hook hoses up to them and make a big junction box on top of your carb if it would work?
What about a leaf blower strapped to your engine hatch?
Gas powered of course LOL
unreal
This guy should be beaten down!!!

But wait thats not all.
Not only is it a supercharger but it also can be used to blow up your inflatable matress, watertoys, blow up dolls, and the ladies can dry there hair.
I wonder if it the same guy that registers the domain names.

Laveyman 07-19-2002 04:14 PM

Friggin' rip off artist. What's sad, is there are many idiots out there bidding on them! :mad:

DJD 07-19-2002 04:16 PM

those look like bilge blower fans.
I'm looking at a West Marine catalogue right now and they look exactly the same. Prices run from $19.99-$26.99. What an ass..........

DoTheMath 07-19-2002 04:19 PM

Wow!! It just goes to show you, there is an A$$ for every seat! Do you think they will come out with a "Marinized Version" soon!?!? :D Maybe there is an e-mail address for more information... "How to make your C5 Vette go from fast to really fast..." hehehe... Someone call Dave Scott, I think there is a new record to be had here at the next LOTO shootout! ;)

The ad says they move 150 cfm. Let's see...

F150 - 5.4L engine approx 0.189 cubic foot displacement

.189 cubic foot at 2000 rpm cruise = 378 cfm.

It's an air brake!

cobra marty 07-19-2002 04:42 PM

It's his business, he's trying. I heard he wants to buy a $200-$300,000 boat. HaHa. :D :D :D

G-Force 07-19-2002 04:49 PM

That really is ****ty...although if you're THAT stupid to actaully buy the thing thinking it's a supercharger.....:rolleyes:

Brad 07-19-2002 04:59 PM

I have two of those on my boat!!
I always turn them on before I start my boat!
I guess i can now say I have two 500 EFI blower motors!:rolleyes:

Hot Boat 07-19-2002 05:23 PM

Do you think it's been dyno tested:p

beerock 07-19-2002 06:06 PM

wow, Onder if it does help induct air hahahahaha:p

I think the vaccum of the intake will actually suck more then the fan can push......

that is truly a scam....
and he has tons of bidders damn!!!!!!

beerock 07-19-2002 06:15 PM

by the way look at his feedback..........

Intolerant1 07-19-2002 06:33 PM

Add a ceiling fan switch and you get adjustable boost :p

VinMan 07-19-2002 08:26 PM

i hear that there will soon be a waterproof version that you can use in place of an outdrive! :p :p :D

DJD 07-19-2002 09:28 PM

Can someone contact e-bay & alert them of the scam? I hate to see anyone ripped off like that

Audiofn 07-19-2002 10:45 PM

I could fart and it would put out more air then one of those things is going to push!!!! :D:D Tomarrow I will hook something up to my butt and see how fast I can make it up to Maine... (I am drinking lots of beer :D:D)

BajaBoss252 07-20-2002 01:03 AM

I sent him the following email:

Isn't that just a bilge blower?

I wonder what his reply will be?

ASD-6 07-20-2002 06:28 AM

I was so pissed off after seeing that, I ripped him a new ass in an e-mail. If / when he replies, I'll throw his address up here for the rest of you to chime in...

Gearhead99 07-20-2002 06:54 AM

Shows you how stupid people are to bid/buy one. I had a GOOD friend bring this to me last week. Wanted to buy it for his Oldsmobile.

I laughed and told him it was Snake Oil. Couldn't work, etc., etc. He was just not believing me. The advertisment says, "It works".

I hope he didn't buy it.......but then again he might of.

P. T. Barnum, " A sucker born every minute" And a con-man right after him to take his money.

Red Stripe 07-20-2002 08:45 AM

I emailed him too. Hope he replys!!
I emailed Ebay about his auctions as well.

Complaint : he tried to sell me a supercharger kit but in reality it was a boat blower

Response by yehbunnie - A competitor selling sim. items, trying to deter sales..grow up, be professional

You gotta love these ebay folks..... Unreal!!

Please feel free to keep your test results confidential!

mlitefan 07-20-2002 08:28 PM

I purchased 6 of these and installed them in-line on my 7.4 MPI...

Picked up 14 MPH...damndest thing I have ever seen...


BTW...Check out the OSO classifieds...I have six of these for sale...cheap...:D :D

I swear...It’s a coincidence...:p

These systems really Kick! I have an add on nitrous system for them too for a 200% boost in Hp. Only 399.99 in 4 easy pays

Wildfire 07-20-2002 09:36 PM

Notice that the auctions are "private". That way you can't email the victims. I have nothing against a business making a profit. However, this is just wrong.

blackhawk 07-20-2002 10:10 PM

Caveat emptor. If someone is dumb enough to buy one of these then they deserve to get ripped off! :D

blackhawk 07-21-2002 12:40 AM

Wait a minute. Did you guys read the entire ad? It's not just the "supercharger" it's the complete "kit" with all mounting hardware!

I just bid on TWO of them. Man, I can't wait to hit that switch, I mean switches!!!

LOL :D

loosecannon22 07-21-2002 07:38 PM

hell, my fresh air blower is dead, i wonder if i can get one for a buck. that will save me a trip to the store and 23 bucks!!!

Cord 07-21-2002 10:27 PM

I see that most of his comments are positive and tell of how effective his product is. The only negative one was "posted by a competator".

wwwTOPDJcom 07-21-2002 10:54 PM

this guys even more full of ****

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1845498501

Iggy 07-22-2002 07:59 AM

What a sham!!
Since I couldn't send hia apersoanl e-mail, I sent a message using the ask a question option.
I ask him if he was an idiot trying to pass a bilge blower off as a supercharger.
I hope he answers.

Cord 07-22-2002 08:49 AM

I did some searching. He has over a dozen log in names and over 100 auctions. Some have different formats, but they all hawk the same blowers. He never gives the same location twice either.

Jayl13 07-22-2002 08:51 AM

Damn I did not mean to start a war but what douche face is doing is really wrong
Shame some people are buying into it
but If I sold the BLOWER
Then maybe I could get a TOP GUN???

Nah, I would never be able to live with myself for that
I have Karma baby
Jason

C_Spray 07-22-2002 06:58 PM

Looks like you guys got results...
 
It's not listed any more. :D

Cord 07-22-2002 07:23 PM

They just killed one of his pen names...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1844949964
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1845496622

The list goes on and on and on....

Pure Energy 07-22-2002 08:33 PM

I responded to this add in the ask the seller a question. I ask him how much boost it produced, what were the expected HP gains, and if it needed an intercooler. I got no response.

wwwTOPDJcom 07-24-2002 01:33 AM

this is such bull

Gumbydammit 07-24-2002 03:18 AM

unreal!

wwwTOPDJcom 07-24-2002 03:28 AM

those 20 or so auctions final bids were from 100 to 200 dollars
not bad for 20 x 100-200 = 2000-4000 bucks for 400 dollar investment
