Ebay auction for "Mercruiser gimbal boots Bravo gimble"

This HAS GOT TO BE A HOAX!!!

Didn't PT Barnum have a saying for people who might be dumb enough to buy anything?


I just HOPE THAT NO ONE HERE ACTUALLY BUYS THIS STUFF!!! And I hope this message prevents some unsuspecting person from buying it too!!!!

Comedy.

I know times are tight for a lot of folks, but, well, you know...c'mon!

Thanks for the laugh. And for the water that is on my keyboard via my nose.

Might be believable if they cleaned them up and hit it with some armor all.

Even at the 70%-80% savings it's just not worth it sight unseen.

Re: Gawd, you guys aren't going to believe this!!!

HALLELUJAH!! YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED!:D

Anyone that is thinking about replacing your drive bellows, (it doesn't really matter for an exhaust bellows btw)................If in doubt REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.

DON'T even think of putting a used one on your drive,

I know it's REALLY HARD.......but Just drink a few less beers, save your coins, and buy a new one!!!

Re: Gawd, you guys aren't going to believe this!!!

I was hoping somebody would buy them. If they did, I was going to put some nice toilet paper up there for a good price (only used once, and only on one side). Figured that anybody who would buy those used bellows would probably be interested........

and i'll add that i've read more than once that the oem bellows are the way to go. the aftermarket ones may be substandard and may not last as long as the oem ones..

yep, hard to believe anyone would bid on that. they look worse than the one i replaced on mine. maybe i should put my old one up on ebay.. :rolleyes: not...

new oem bellows is the ticket imho. they're just not that much fun to go get. better to do the deed right the first time, with the proper parts, and not have to bother with a second time...

I don't see what the big deal is, I'm the high bidder right now. Those things will still work great for a year or two.:D

Just kidding, but fork out another 10 bucks and you can get brand new bellows.

LOL, that?s very funny.

There used to be a guy on eBay that would sell used bellow kits for 20 bucks a set. This guy would clean them and armor all them. They would still be considered garbage by most of us, but the guy did try a little bit harder at least. In reality if you?re dumb enough to use used parts on something that?s kind of pita to reach, you deserve the "I had to do it twice lesson".

Re: Gawd, you guys aren't going to believe this!!!

Dude has used trim sender/limit for $35 plus $10 shipping - some things just belong in the trash.

Although - if someone is dumb enough to buy them, then why shouldn't he sell them?????

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! moral delima-----brain anurism.....

Re: Gawd, you guys aren't going to believe this!!!

I am selling lots of 8 spark plugs each.

I have already taken the time to break them in for you, AND even though they were gapped they have burned off to just the right setting. I have even pre lubbed them with dark oil for you.

Hurry while they last, but wait, that's not all they can do....
