Anyone have any luck with selling a big item, like an engine on ebay?

Yep, I sold a 1999 Merc 150. *I made a video of the motor running on the boat and linked it to the listing, got more than I was shooting for and there were lots of people watching and bidding.

When I talked to people on the phone about the motor, no one wanted to see it run because of the video.

Don't accept bids from overseas, and list it as "pick up only".

Genius!!! A video I will make. I was thinking of a way to show the compression on the engine, and a video sounds like it will work perfect.

Should I go by the NADA value of the engine?

The NADA might be low. Expect if YOU wanted a 200, would you be willing to pay $2200 for a good one?
$930-$1045 should be a hellofa deal if it's clean (just looked)

Yeah it has the reverse problem but the engine is solid. $1300 would be a good price to get.

I would put it on there with no reserve and put that in your title, it will go for more than 1300 easy, with the video.

I am trying to find the tread that had my ad on it so you can see how mine was done.

Hey thanks for the help. I am going to make the video this weekend and put it up. I thought it would do better on craigslist then its doing. I only got a few emails.

The other engine is just sitting there waiting to go on the V. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has the shift rod ever been replaced in that motor?? If not I bet thats the next thing to go!

No it has never been replaced. I know that could be a big job if you cant get the bolts out. What do you think a good price is to sell even if the rod has to be replaced? The last thing I want to do is screw someone over with a bum motor.

[macojoe]

Well many have done the shift rod, including me! And it can be a real PIA!!

But not all are rotted yet? But that might be whats going on with the reverse?

If compression is good and all ten I say its worth $1000+ with all the controls, I bought a 89 175 Yamaha with all 5 or 6 years ago and it cost me then $1800

Last year the oil injection stoped working and I blew the motor >:(

Go with the $1300 and see what they offer you, just make sure they know they ot buying a new motor and once they leave the yard its thers forever!!

Yeah I think $1300 is fair. I need to get rid of it ASAP because I am dieing to get my boat in the water. Me and my buddy unloaded the newer engine off the pickup truck by hand last night. Probably one of the hardest tasks I came across in a while. I guess thats why they make engine hoists, they are tricky to pick up by hand.

I dont know what was harder, getting the engine onto dollys by hand with one other guy or removing the old foamed in gastank from my V20 last summer. Both are not fun to do!!!
