acme 540 prop for sale

Just a thought on posting items for sale on the site:

I posted a similar item and had quite a few responses. Every one made an offer and every one was below the price I clearly stated in my post. A few were actually rude. I wonder if those same people negotiate at the grocery store or the gas station, I doubt it.

Now, there is no crime in low-balling. In fact, I was taught to always say "Is that the best you can do?" when faced with a negotiation. And the times I have made low-ball offers, I had cash on hand at that moment and focused solely on price - how I got it home was my problem. So a low-ball offer combined with "you pay shipping and I want you to install it while I have a beer" doesn't work for me as a seller (btw CJ none of this applies to you, or bmiller for that matter).

With regard to posting here and then posting on ebay - every seller has their time frame. I posted my item here and have not posted it on ebay for several reasons. If a year from now a current or future member digs up my post and makes a reasonable offer, we will probably have a deal. If not I, or my grandkids, can always donate the item to some future CorrectCraft museum. That is my time frame.

As always, thank you for your time,

Mike

Sorry, wasn't following this post.
If you were a splicer in Ohio, 99% chance you were in one or more of our manholes. If it was leaking, it wasn't ours. lol   We are in SE MI but ship to OH.
Your right, small world. Where in Ohio are you? We are heading to Grand Rapids, OH, Friday for a barefoot race. Racing from GRap to Nepoleon and back.

We're racing.
I've only done a few races, I'm not that good, but they are a riot. My oldest son can knock off some nice runs. You talk about a niche sport, this takes the cake.
Endurance racing is what lead to me to being on this site. The BFN is such a great boat to knock down the waves I had to have one. The boat I now own showed up at a race here in MI and the guy said the owner (borrowed boat) was selling. He told me the price and I said sold.
Couldn't be happier. Well I could if I was able to put it on the lake I live on, 90hp outboard limit.

Hi John
That was the day I bought the boat. I know it doesn't make sense to buy a boat in the winter, but I had skied behind the boat in Sept and figured not much can change in two months. Bought the fly high for $170 from a neighbor, earmarked for my brother-in-laws Supra (Christmas present). Surprise, fit the Nautique perfectly. Bonus for me, bummer for the brother-in-law. I think he got a sweater.
Boy, was I chompin at the bit for spring.
