That is a funny coincidence for Mr. 400hz
Apparently he didn't think so.

Howdy,Stop it!!!!!! 163 people bid on it? And we, as a nation went to the moon?
Pretty sure it was this killer sales negotiation technique that got him into this predicament.So before this thread was started I received 4 PMs in a row from a new SS member. Told me to call or text him in the morning. I sent him a PM right back with my info. He called me in the morning and I told him everything I know about the genset I've got in the classifieds.
Such as...
It belongs to a friend's widow and all I know about it is what I was told back when my friend first acquired it down South. It came off a 20ft reefer box and apparently the exhaust cover was either up or missing completely so the engine took in some water. The exhaust was removed and never made it back north. Other than that it was all there. Sheet metal all good, engine otherwise complete, gauges all there, 700 hours, etc. Untested but it all looks good. Price was firm at $500 which I think I could easily get if I parted it out.
He was supposed to show up earlier this week but couldn't make it due to "weather". I made plans for the day but no big deal, it happens. He wanted to show up Saturday but I was in NY today. He said it was Saturday or at least a couple weeks of waiting. After assuring him I was "certain" I'd be out of town he said he'd show up Sunday. While on the road back from NY he decided to try the old "take it or leave it" negotiating tactic to save $100... even though we both knew the deal and planned for Sunday.

I won't include his next text but for someone who wasn't going to be buying it he seemed rather bothered that I wouldn't sell it to him anyway.
SS username is Hayabusa.To save anyone else from the aggravation of dealing with this guy, his phone number is 508-631-8900 (Anthony Olivieri). Folks don't realize how small the world really is....
His last text to me: "Good thing you're up there you Vermont homosexual!"I can sleep well knowing that I tried to help the guy, and all I get in return is high school girl drama from a grown ass man.
I wanted to do some stalking, and I couldnt find his user profile under that name.SS username is Hayabusa.
It counts anyone who bit the opening minimum before the auction started. I don't know what it was for this unit, but I can easily see a low enough bid I'd gladly have bought a spare engine and parts for.Stop it!!!!!! 163 people bid on it? And we, as a nation went to the moon?
These are used with helicopters, right? I think I got it figured out... You've probably heard about the increase in "helicopter parenting", anyone with kids knows how much energy it takes to raise them, maybe these parents are looking for supplemental power!What bothers me the most is Not the single person that Bought the genset, but the 163 people that Tried to buy it....
You know, I read the whole shabang, and just have to say, you were nice, helpful, understanding and patient. It's just sad to hear some butt head turn on someone like he did. AND, sadly, the fool cant just change the head and have a 60 hertz gen set. There are several other things he needs to do. Like the wire harness, like several major components in the control panel. And I don't think the fella is smart enough to figure out how to find out just what needs to be changed. Like John Wayne once said, "life is tough, and its even tougher, when your dumb".I can sleep well knowing that I tried to help the guy, and all I get in return is high school girl drama from a grown ass man.
