Adapted from the RCCA message board... a thread about odd, funny or just plain stupid ebay auctions. Here's one that made me go... "what the f___?"

Ebay is living proof of PT Barnum's quote. "There's a sucker born every minute."

I buy and sell a lot of stuff on eBay. Is it just me or has the collective stupidity of the planet risen sharply? The items showcased by you guys are only a chip off the pile of fettid dung that eBay has become.

*sigh*

"It is powered by a $400 O.S. max-21 XM Engine"

I don't think so:

He's about $120 high on that engine estimation. Kinda makes you wonder if he really did invest $1,300 on this boat (which I highly doubt anyways)... just another guy trying to screw the honest model boater.

EDIT: It is a nice boat... I just don't believe the $ figures.

Just thought I'd point out , the post above by Avenger.. showing this so called supercharger.. what a joke.. it's identical to the ventelation fans we install at the boat manufacturing plat where I work.. these fans are used as the blowers for venting fumes out of the engine area. :rolleyes:

that what is so funny! and they have some of them that are selling for like $120 for hondas and such! they got quite the skam going! concidering that you could go out and buy a boat blower (w/ more cfm and RPM) for about $20 and jurry rig it up! some people are very gullible!

I once saw a box stock HPI Nitro RS4 with a lambo body sell for $1,500 in the Lamborghini auto section. I was like "damn! I gotta try that sometime!"

Slow down, Frank. You'd blow them away at 4 feet per second, thats like 2.8 MPH, no chance of them catchin' ya.
