Its a great place to find used beat up parts, for more than what you can buy them new for.

As for the facebook powerboat swap shop section, its filled with bad advice, overpriced parts, overpriced boats, and pure junk. Just about every post turns into a pi$$ing match. Its great entertainment.

Wow sounds like I'm missing .....nothing
Don't have a Facebook account, don't need one at my age, my kids have them and report some of the boating crap to me when I need a good chuckle! don't plan on joining, maybe OSO should have a "Facebook update" thread I nominate Mild to be the reporter! JK |

Its the same there as it is here. Same jokers flooding the page with the same stuff they pedal here for the same money. Once in a while at either site you will find something reasonable that you need. Who else has heard of the 60% rule when buying used parts? Be that as it may both sites are a good asset for finding and selling used parts, deal or no. You just have to be aware.

I have been selling NEW OEM parts and OEM repair service manuals, plus have one boat listed on there. I do not deal in junk nor never have. I do see what your talking about posted on the site everyday. There is a lot of OSO people on there as well selling there parting out boat parts, engines & drives just like up here in the swap shop. The site has more rec stock boaters on it than here so some of those people are not as advance with mechanical abilities. Just saying.

My Facebook is comprised off Drag Race stuff (new and old) old school Offshore Powerboat stuff and I love the Scarab KV page. Tons off old pics and info.
|
So glad that I unjoined the fb swap shop months ago.....
|
I started checking it out when I first found it on Facebook. It took all of about 10 minutes to realize that it wasn't for me. One of the guys that works for me is always on it and he fills me in on the abortion that it is. I'm glad, cause that means I don't have to suffer through it. It really is terrible.
|
I was just thinking today 90% of swap shop posts are a complete waste of my time... I`m not sure why I even bother, the stuff posted is mind boggling.
Its like an accident you don`t wanna look but you still do. |
