Default Am I friggin retarded?

I know im the king of overkill Guilty as charged, and not everyone in this world thinks the way I do, but I am beside myself no being able to sell my twin turbo 403 Engine for $9,000! I couldn't get anyone to go 9g's and meet the reserve price! Where was I when I was looking to do this project?
My god you prolly couldn't buy the longblock with the AFR heads and valveterrain for 9 friggin grand! And this is with TWIN Turbos and a complete wiring harness and Bigstuff 3!
I am going to try it again.
Is there something wrong with the way I listed it? I am not a big ebayer so I would appreciate any advice on the way I listed it. I took out the reserve since I had about 15 emails asking me how much the reserve is..
Thanks for any advice!

believe it or not all them nitrous lines scare even the most performance minded people...I had a DVX400 sport 4wheeler with a nitrous kit on it and tried to sell it for 2months...Everyone that came by the shop said they were scared of the nitrous...took it off and sold in two days...Just food for thought

"scared" in the sense that something was messed up internally

People hear the words NITROUS and they get all scared. I agree with Dozer on this one.

I use ebay all the time for whatever....if I saw your auction, I would be worried about sending $9K to a guy with only 3 feedbacks. You get a buddy with a high feedback score to list it and I think you will have better luck.

That is a killer deal on the setup. Luckily, I'm broke right now
