I have received 2 PeeWees off eBay recently that stated that. Both had props attached. When I received them and removed the props both had broken cranks and the drive hub was just held together with the prop screw.

Don’t buy PeeWee engines with props attached.

Well now, that makes me feel a lot better. The next time someone asks me how I am, I'll be able to say that I'm in "Very Good" condition.

You stole my line, ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the seller accidentally used the aging app that's so popular now?!?!?!?!?!?

That engine was in fair condition, at best, the day it left the factory.

I bought a Black Widow off eBay when I first began to use the auction that was described as "very good" condition.
Paid more than I should have and waited for the little gem to arrive.
Instead of bright shiny and like new as the pictured made it appear, it was heavily coated in black boot polish that came off in my hand as I unpacked the little piece of junk !!!!!
Some parts were eventually used but mostly very bad.
I should have escalated to eBay but instead I called it my tuition to the modern electronic criminal university.
Some dude in some town called Kelowna in Canada laughed his snow boots off I guess !!!
