JEanes:

Your problem is not You or the engine. The problem is that many people on this board want you to practically GIVE an engine away.

I've been trying to sell some REALLY nice glow engines on this board for about a month. So far, only two of them have sold. I'm not asking rediculous prices for my engines either. IMO-- I'm practically giving them away-- when you consider the condition of these engines.

But, people are cautious and scared to get ripped off. You really have to spend a lot of time answering Emails and selling your reputation and your engines. It's almost not worth it.

Don't take it personally JEanes. People just want a free engine-- or darn close to it.

I sold a big glow engine to a guy last week. He was really scared and was trying to get me to lower the price on the engine. I held firm to my price. Well, I can tell you that the guy was doing backflips when he got the motor. He was so happy with the condition of it. He really must have thought that I was lying about the condtition. He told me that it was practically brand new and that he was extremely happy with the price.

He didn't offer me more money for it though.

The point is-- guys want an engine for dirt cheap-- and you sell it for a loss. Then the guy calls you and tells you how happy he is and raves about the condition of the engine. But; he never offer you another $25 or $40 for it-- he's got it in his hands and he's happy. Nevermind whats really FAIR .

Just my thoughts.
