Facebook Messenger Conversation as Follows:


Jim David Darr: Tom, did you buy 46 freedom

Tom Borisch: Are you interested in the engines, trans, and headers?

Jim David Darr: What trannys were in it

Tom Borisch: Jim's 2 speeds.

Jim David Darr: I don't need headers. I would pay 40k for motors and trannys

Tom Borisch: 45?

Jim David Darr: Can't go 45. 40 is my offer

Tom Borisch: That will help me cover shipping. I'll have them delivered in an enclosed trailer. I can do 40k, but you need to arrange shipping. We can crate them.

Jim David Darr: Let me see what shipping is and talk to my rigger to see if I need headers and tail pipes. Text u back

Tom Borisch: Shipping will be about 800 for both skids.

Jim David Darr: Your in Michigan correct?

Tom Borisch: Actually, I can send them in an enclosed anyway. I have a guy going that way next week. I'll cover that.

Jim David Darr: I just need to see if my headers will fit those engines.

Tom Borisch: K. They are tall decks with 18degree big chief heads

Jim David Darr: Great boat. What power you putting in it

Tom Borisch: I have a set of psi sterlings that need a home.

Jim David Darr: That will push that 46. You don't have any boats for sale do you

Tom Borisch: No, When will you know if you want these for sure?

Jim David Darr: I just left him message. I'll know tonight

Tom Borisch: Sounds good, I will start crating em tomorrow if you pull the trigger, I know Jim loved these engines. But sterling is right here in Michigan, and I know Mike really well.

Tom Borisch: There is a line forming behind you for the engine and trans combo... Lol

Jim David Darr: Buddy. If you have cash buyer right this second sell them. I will get with you as soon as I hear from Tony. If their still there we will talk and I'll wire money. Thanks

Tom Borisch: No, don't have any real offers.. That was the LOL part of the message.. People like to ask questions. Very few have the cash. It's all good.
I'm sure you have dealt with the same thing before.

Jim David Darr: Yep I have.

Tom Borisch: Still have a deal?

Jim David Darr: Don't know yet he didn't get back to me. I'll call u second he calls

Tom Borisch: Ok

Jim David Darr: Tom. What kind of efi system is on the engines

Tom Borisch: The carbureted kind.

Tom Borisch: These engines run better than any EFI setup around. Jim had this thing on the water more than any other boat, and maintained it with an open check book.

Jim David Darr: I want efi. I'm checking on price to do top ends and make them efi. I've had alot of carb motors. They are great until u get around docks and in and out of gear and they don't have knock detonation sensors and retard on them. I'll get back to you. How much are the trannys alone?. Thanks

Tom Borisch: Let me know

Tom Borisch: What's the word? You have a strange way of doing business. Making firm offers and then trying to figure out if your actually interested.

Jim David Darr: What? I'm interested. I thought they were efi. What I was told.

Tom Borisch: By who?

Jim David Darr: Guys at loto

Tom Borisch: They have always Ben carb motors. Oh well. Let me know

Jim David Darr: Efi will cost me 8k a motor and 10k for freshening 1 motor

Tom Borisch: Ok

Jim David Darr: Are you at your bottom dollar on motors and trannys?

Tom Borisch: Yes

Jim David Darr: Ok

Tom Borisch: Your not interested?

Jim David Darr: Interested in trannys. But I want efi engines. Too much to convert these motors. I truly thought they were efi

Tom Borisch: How much for trans?

Jim David Darr: How much do you want

Tom Borisch: Jim sells the for 12,500 a piece, Make me an offer for both.

Jim David Darr: Too much for me.

Tom Borisch: That's not what I'm asking, I'm thinking 10k

Jim David Darr: Too much for me. I wouldn't give more than 5k.

Tom Borisch: No

Jim David Darr: Sorry you said make offer. I would send you cashiers check for 6k . Final offer

Tom Borisch: No

Darr needs a therapist.

"Jim David Darr: Tom. What kind of efi system is on the engines

Tom Borisch: The carbureted kind."

Hilarious!

What a time waster.

What, you mean those aren't Mercury black motors with EFI and a warranty?! The picture must have been a little pixelated on his end.... Something was certainly fuzzy on his end!

Why do people do this ****? What kind of person gets off on tire kicking and wasting people's valuable time? You're either a buy or you're not a buyer, I understand shopping around and being cautious but don't be throwing out offers if you are not ready to do the transaction. This guy must be bored, somebody needs to introduce this guy to a titty bar or high-end escorts and let him know there are much better ways to waste his time.

You should have screwed with him a bit more and agreed to the $5k for the transmissions to see what kind of excuses he would come up with to back out even at that price.

That was frustrating just to read....much less to be the guy getting jerked around.

Set him up with Bob from Dearborn.

wow, I must live under a rock, i've never experienced anything like Bob or Darr (although I have bought stuff on craigslist only to find myself in some shady places to make the purchase)

Wow....that's all I can say....wow!

Did you get his phone number? you can have all kinds of fun with that... such as placing a cheap hooker ad on craigslist with his number, beyond good deal car sale ads with his number etc.... with a few key strokes you can have his phone ringing indefinitly...
