OK, so I am not a good negotiator, but I will just walk away at some point. I also don't like to needlessly insult people that I don't know. This guy has had this motor, I guess in the boat, for 40 years. I have no desire for a boat.
I'd like to get it cheap, unless I see any of the usual red flags. Then the price drops dramatically. I'm wondering if it's ever been apart???
