Re: Outboard Auction Prices going up?

[billw]

On-line bidding for outboards has more to do with a battle of testosterone than it does with common sense. The guys that win some of these auctions probably go the bathroom and throw up, after thinking about what they just did. The trick to getting these high prices is that you need at least two people that are interested in the same motor. In the case of the stuck 7.5, I think that was pure luck that two people would even want it. By contrast, at the last well-attended AOMCI meet I went to, I couldn’t sell a half way decent TN28 for $10.

Long live American manufacturing!
