Default Coils for free--just throwing this out there

I first ordered coils off eBay. Then went to install them and saw that the boots are angled which a lot of them for the 2007 F150 show but I didn't like this so I bought Accel's. I recently pulled the Accel's and went with OEM due to a slight missfire again. Now I have the eBay ones I am throwing in the trash unless somebody wants them--brand new but I have no need for them and can't return them to the eBay seller.

You pay shipping probably 20 bucks and they are yours. Coils are like the photo attached. They are DG508's. Maybe they were the wrong coils for my 2007 5.4 anyway--not sure. Just want them gone.

Are they motorcraft? Do you take PayPal? Those are for the 4.6.... I got one of those. I will take them just for extra if you only want shipping

OK so I should have stated that if these are OEM it's news to me. The Ebay listing showed this when I bought them last November--"8 pack Ignition Coil DG508 Spark Plug SP479 For Ford Lincoln Mercury". They did not come in the OEM bags that my recent coils came in stating Motocraft and there are no name or numbers on them. I paid $82 bucks for 8 coiols so I highly doubt they are OEM. I'll just end up throwing them in the trash. So I screwed up and ordered them before I researched the correct part number--plus were wrong also. I will throw them away with the coils.

Those are NOT motorcraft coils. It's a misconception and IMO, these sellers are dishonest by displaying them in such a way.

A set of 8 OEM Motorcraft COP’s cost between $400-700 depending were you can find them.
I doubt somebody would give them away free...

Where are you in MI? I could pick them up and avoid the shipping.

I paid $50/per COP from the dealer. That was with Friends and Family pricing.

Motorcraft DG508 coils are $37.36 on Amazon. Ordered a few last week and they came in the Genuine Motorcraft packaging.
