Email for pics. Why should I have to ask you for pictures of what you are selling?
Or best offer. I made an offer on a set of seats that were posted on this site. I got a nasty email in return. I was willing to negotiate, the add said or best offer, who wouldn't start low?

No price and no pics. And what the hell is with items "for sell"...it is for SALE! If there is no price I don't even consider it serious in any way.

Not to mention misrepresentation of items and them shipped in a box with no packings (oso member expertinboats). There was more Merc blue paint in the bottom of the box than on the parts.

No price is what bugs me the most, not to mention the term good condition for the year.

Bottom line when I know what I want, I know what the boat looks like, send me pics of the flaws and serious issues, don't sugar coat it, because in the end its can I put up with the issues for what he's asking.

Misrepresentation over the phone on condition ... I fly to chicago ... rent a car ... drive 100 miles north ... find the boat uncovered and full of snow ... a real p.o.s. ! Hot a happy camper after that one ! The owner was sick with cancer ... I was dealing with this brother ... never called him back ... total waste of a day and my time ! The pictures were 5 years old ... not current condition .

1. To me if I see a long description on how awesome the stereo is tahts a immediate turn off.. I don`t care and it leads me to believe you probably partied on the thing with a 100 skanks/dudes all drunk blarring the music and I`m going to have to be finding jizz beer stains for the next 5 years.

2. All the keywords; 'taken care of with an open wallet' , turn key (they never are) , ready for summer, 'turns heads everywhere we go' etc.. ok buddy calm down with the used car salesman routine.

3. Email for pics?? ummm no thanx NEXT!

4. Pictures from the previous owners sale ad from 10 years ago.. take some current pics!\


For Sale ads in the Swap shop:

No picture or price.. NEXT!
anything from KidApache.

Along with pictures of a very dirty boat.

WTF is wrong with people ?

Lastly, there should be a 35 Widebody DCB with 1100-1350's in my area with only a few hrs of use for under 80k. Pissed none of those come up on Craigslist ! LOL.
