Not a fan of all the bullshit lately. I have always been a very honest seller/buyer and this shit just blows my mind. My reputation is much more important than a few dollars… it just doesn’t make sense. I hope this is all a misunderstanding, and he will make things right. On a side note there’s a few people on the boards I have been trying to deal with that have either been dicking me around or not getting back to me. It’s pissing me off big time. ---

:lol: This whole situation’s like a scale model of the US economy, the motor being a bundle of bad mortgages that nobody wants to admit is worthless so it keeps getting passed around. Maybe one of you can get your parents to buy it off of you to stimulate your finances so that you can get out of their basement. ---

Only CKY could manage to be involved in a scam when he isn’t the seller, buyer, or allowed in the marketplace of choice. ---

I mean hell it doesn’t even sound like he tried hand-cranking the motor to see if it turned freely. I just find my self annoyed that it’s the same group of people defending someone that sold an engine with a known history of being nothing more than scrap. ---
