Chuck Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 After that $2,300.00 sale eBay will probably be flooded with them for a few months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's the way it usually works. Just looked. This shop has a Big Boy and a Challenger. Need some work.

Mike1083 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 A few months back i was searching for anybody who might still have engines in stock and there was a store in tx who claimed to have a new one. I was quoted 1100 for it which now seems like a bargain if it is sealed in box like they said. I am sure there are still some out there in little shops just waiting to be bought but it most definitely is a treasure hunt. Sure would be nice if some Daylights would pop up.

Jerry B44 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 The BB that does not work is up to $820. Ends today. Sheesh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The BB that does not work is up to $820. Ends today. Sheesh.... Yeah, I was going to bid but this things going up! I maybe priced out of ever getting one. I'm lucky I got my Challengers when I did. I got a bunch of deals in the past. Looks like they're too hot to touch!

Cyborg1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Well some lucky bidder won this Bigboy that does not run, has no sound, no smoke, no box, no instructions and that may have parts missing; all for the price of $971.00 + $38.33 shipping for a grand total of $1009.33. Oh, and by the way, it's non-returnable! LOL! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What scared me the most was no box! It will probably get put into some kind of bubble wrap or those styro peanuts. Either way it won't survive if it's stood on it's end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The seller says it was run outside; looks more like it was left outside! I think we'll see a MTH Bigboy in the near future that will be new with warranty and priced sanely! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
