IMHO if I was buying a $19K boat I wouldn't hand over any cash without riding in it first if it was a private seller. I'd say you are not obligated to do anything.
got myself an ebay nightmare!!! SOLD A BOAT...

If he wanted warranty, he should have bought a new one. Sounds like you held up your end of the deal. Nothing to worry about.

went down precisely like that.. one thing i didnt mention is: he came to inspect the boat and obvilously approved of what he was buying. we hooked the boat to his BMW X5followed him to the bank where he was to pay the $19277.. i sit in the parking lot for him to come out. he hands me a cashiers check for 10k and an envelope and says "we counted it 3 times" and walks away to the boat which was probably 50 feet away.. i sit in my truck and count what was supposed to be $9277.. 1st count: short $100.. 2nd count: short $100.. 3rd count: short $100.. now i feel like an arsehole knowing i have to tell him its $100 short,.. so, i say: jim, this is $9177 not $9277.. he says we counted it 3 times and hes not trying to fawk me.. i say, im not t rying to fawk you either but, i counted it 3 times.. so, he pulls out a $50 and says "ill split it with you".. i say no, i dont want it, i dont want you thinking im tryin to fawk you and you dont want me thinking that either so, just keep it.
Finally this thread is becoming amusing....I was curious as to why the split payment though...but I guess we figured that one out!
I say "s c r e w him".................again!

I'd agree here Jess. Something smells fishy with this guy and I bet it ain't the livewell in the boat he bought.
I've got a number to a guy in Hackensack that has polesheds of used parts well organized and cataloged if you proceed with finding a used ECM.

Yea, I caught that one too...sounds like they deserve each other.
its pretty simple.. im not a dealer and im not a business,.. i buy and sell things for a living.. any other questions??
read above post.. its not brain surgery to figure out.. just like you buying a sled to fix up and sell.. pretty simple..
Something about that sounds very contradictory.... though you are playing games with technicalities of definitions...

Glad I don't ever have anything to sell, sounds like a pain in the a ss.
I would tell the guy that you'll give him a hundred dollars to help him out and nothing more. Then inform him that the hundred dollars will be what he shorted you. Move on with life, forget about that guy. It is his boat now, his problem.
Always remember the saying......Screw me over once shame on you, do it to me twice shame on me.

move on. He's obviously a dishonest sumbeetch from the 100 dollar incident. Prolly did something stupid to ruin the motor and he's saying it was like that. You know it wasn't, so tell him to piss off.

the sad part is your probably going to be held hostage by the ebay feedback........If you want to keep 100% positive, you may have to work with him.......
that is what sucks about the way they have it set up..... You can do everything strait up, and then still get scre wed by someone down the road because they got butthurt.
