Strange outboard motors - and what a reputation!

[charlesp]

Perusing eBay I can't help but notice the odd little ouboards being offered under the Magic Motion banner. These are ugly little things, although described in glowing terms, and I wondered where on earth they all came from. Someone suggested China of course. Strange little beasts.

But just for a laugh, look at 120047095054 on eBay UK, and check the seller's feedback.

Hilarious!

Glowing terms, by the seller, but I wonder what buyers think of them?

I see it now. The Shanghai Seagull Company producing motors for $99.99 including shipping, dealer prep, all taxes and a one year warranty. They could easily corner the small outboard market in the West, but pleased don’t ask about parts.

Seems to be the way the world is going when, at the same time, many vital resources are in short supply.

Take a look at the seller's reputation, madmagicmotion's certainly leaves something to be desired from a buyer.

Yes. I rather like the bit about 'you won't get the spares for your defective purchase unless you leave positive feedback'!

I do not understand why anyone would consider buying from these obvious crooks.
