Default Are they kidding?

Almost $600 for a battery? I could get a Russian bride for this money.

I do not believe they are kidding. Ebay is legit. Sellers other story. Sellers do not kid around. Just fishing for a sucker to bite.

Are you kidding that you think they are kidding?

----------

I never understand why people say the following phrases:

Are you fukkkkkkking kidding me?

Really? (When you can clearly see what is happening?)

Are you ok? (Kid falls off bike and bloody and scratches and crying?)

You got to be shittinng me.

I've seen some of the Russian brides, some could probably suck-start your truck while others from the more northern rural areas could.... mmmmmaaybe just push you in your truck all the way into town and back.. With a bottle of water of course both ways.

And then again, seeing that makes me wanna add $120 to all my battery sales if that shit works. lmao

That's the going rate for that battery on Ebay. Other sellers have very similar prices. Ford dealerships probably get lucky quite often and find people that have no idea that a battery shouldn't cost that much. Like most of their parts...
