That makes a lot of sense. I think it matters how the engine for sale is presented though. Most guys are selling them saying "less than a gallon" or "barely broken-in". To me I take that as total BS. If it was either of those, why are you selling it other than you are getting out of the hobby? Just be honest with the condition and put a declaimer such as, "as is, no refunds" or "due to the nature of the hobby, seller is no longer responsible once delivered". In any case, I'll keep looking around. My buddy is just a nice, decent person that likes helping people out get started in the hobby by providing them with a decent starter engine cheap. In fact, I've personally seen him give motors away for free to kids and not charge anything to others that really can't afford much.
