No mate, but that's 'cos I changed my mind about selling it.

What you have to realise that if you buy an engine from me it's risk-free, because I know about this stuff - it will also be very well packed and fully insured. Also, I'm not desperate for cash, so I'm not necessarily after the quickest sale, but if you genuinely think an engine is overpriced, just make me a counter offer - worst that can happen is I'll say no, we won't fall out over it.

100% agree.

I bought my Bowman M122 off Moose, for £150 inc next day delivery p+p. Some say that it's too much, BUT I knew I was buying an engine completely as described, with no nasty suprises.

In my opinion that's worth paying that bit extra for

If he needs character references, Moose is one top notch fellow, it is worth a few pounds more to get something without all of the risk. You can get some things on Ebay for a real good price, but you never know for sure what you have till it arrives. With Moose, you will know all of the flaws etc before you even commit to buy.
If I hadnt just spent a big chunk of cash on other things, Mooses items would be high on my want list.

Thanks for the endorsement mate!  

Should also say that if you buy something and it turns out that it's not what you expected, you can just send it back, and I'll refund (as long as you didn't break it of course)

Feel the same way John just got to remember that the SEL major is the cost of a new magneto

Well........ It had to be me, didn`t it?!!  

Someone had to cause a few ripples........

Someone had to be not completely happy......    

BUT......

We talked about it.

Odilon fixed it.

It`s arrived today.

I`m happy now!!    



He`s A Gentleman...... TRUST THE MOOSE.......
