This is an update of the post suggestions. I have received the shifter today. Man, am I sorry I bought it sight unseen. It's a POS. SEVERE pitting, cracked handle, cut wires, decals or what's left of them in poor condition. The cables that enticed me into the sale of this "good condition control box" are worthless. They are both frozen since the outer sleeves are cut in various places.Black electrical tape covering rusty wounds. Looks like I paid too much for shipping as well since the postage mark stamp says $8.61 .I was told shipping was 15.00.AND was promised a tracking #. Post office told me tracking service was not paid for. How much could it have been? 1.00? 3.00? Looks like GEE GEE really needed that $100.00 more then we knew. What do you say to that GEE GEE? In case you really don't have any idea of how to describe the condition of an object, may I suggest a dictionary. "Nice, good shape" aren't the words used in the english language to describe garbage. Next time use words like,beat up,broken,corroded,damaged,worthless for a more accurate description. For your knowledge, when a cable/cables are worn thru,start freezing up, they are pretty much useless.I don't know of anyone who would/could use them. They are useless.Too bad you shipped them.You probably could have squeezed another few pennies out of the shipping cost. I'm throwing the stuff in the trash. What puzzles me is why you insured this POS? Keep the hundred and happy holidays. :mad:

yeah..what a piece of crap. I think I'm going to take my video camera and film myself trying to give it to a bum or crack head..tell them it's worth a hundred bucks..film their reaction. I'm gonna do it I swear and mail the tape to Mr.BILL MOEBIUS.or was it Nash..no...reverse directory after I checked the number I called him @ said it was a mr.McGrath. What a good con artist. And to think I felt sorry for him... :mad: He sent it cuz he was AFRAID. Yup, afraid someone was gonna get his boat.It's STILL a possibility Mr.MOEBIUS.

I guess the "one mans trash is another mans treasure" doesn't apply here.Maybe now it's "one mans trash is simply trash."<br /> Have a merry Christmas

Re: update on suggestions post.

ken talked to you a few times seems like you arent going to miss the $100 too much sorry to say this but screw him what goes around comes around and sooner or later he'll get his maybe the $100 is needed for some new teeth or something don't worry have a good one with the wife and kids and let it go $100 is not worth the grief of dealing with trailer trash (not all people who live in trailers are trash sorry not meant to offend) but this guy is a tool and to think he actually defended himself knowing he was selling you trash was a goof

Kend20gw.... If taken advantage of, small claims court is the way to go. You mentioned recently that you had spoken with the seller (after all that confusion) and that he seemed like a nice guy. Have you contacted him since receiving the item and inquired about returning it for a full refund.... obtaining the refund first? If he's still a nice guy, he would go that route. If not, go the small claims court route.

Well kend20gw --- I guess i'm not going to apologize to geek geek after all. I actually was hoping I had to apologize because it would have renewed my hope of mankind and fair play. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and that someone surfing these threads finds a free (smile) control box and cables for you. <br /><br />"Before honor is humility."

Re: update on suggestions post.

On the previous thread, someone had one that they were going to send to him. Personally I would chip in to help pay for one from a GOOD person. I know that $100.00 is not the issue. The misrepresentation of the product and the verge of fraud is the point.<br /><br />I also feel that whoever it was that said they had one that they would send him is most deservant of being compensated for his offer. The one that he has is probably worth a lot more than the JOKER GEE GEE's is.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all<br /><br />Richard

Re: update on suggestions post.

hi guys, again thanks for your support. Just wanted to let you know I emailed gee gee @ the email we have been corresponding with. I've gotten no reply. I told him pretty much I've said here, it's broken and I'll throw it out. Told him to keep the 100 bucks. As far as small claims court goes, I don't have the time nor the patience to travel to Philly. Although I believe I would win , he doesn't seem to have the money. His AOL acct. was shut down for non -payment, He emailed asking ME to call since he has no long distance . Being poor or on hard times is no crime.Being deceitful and dishonest is. He was both. I say enough with this Bozo. This is way,way too good a site to devote to this matter. I got beat and that happens. If anyone has a decent,good shape,working , single top mounted control box for a merc outboard and is willing to accept a deposit thru paypal or something similar and has pics please let me know where I can reach you. AS for you gee gee, I suggest to you, your foresight in changing your name on this forum IS in fact a good idea. :rolleyes:

Re: update on suggestions post.

He'll be back to call us names . To tell everyone they don't know what they are talking about. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to come home today (rushing) to pick up package from po box, open it and smile and think of how it will look on my boat. As soon as I seen it, wires all cut, picked it up, put my hand on the handle(which is broken) I thought, maybe at least the cables are useable, nope, saw electrical tape on open sheathing..maybe the other one at least..nope that one taped up too. Let's see if at least it has movement..none. I got beat. End of story. I wanted to let you guys know how it ended. After reading thru that long post and the support you guys lent, you deserved to know. Especially after being called names and being told you owed an apology. But tis the season to be JOLLY so..let's get back to posting and helping and learning. No more about this. I can't stand seeing this or the other post on here anymore. It's the only negative I find on this sight and I feel partly responsible. So no more on this.We know what he is and what he's done and so does he.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! :D
