How is this not Bullshit?

That might be one auction worth tracking, but it sounds like it's too good to be true to me.  If you're interested, why not call the owner and see what's the deal? :dunno:

That has to be the most annoying interface I've ever seen/heard on ebay.  What's wrong with a simple, easy to navigate auction that doesn't make spaceship noises everytime I click on something?

But yea, that seems like a really low price...weird...

There have been a whole bunch of auctions like that on ebay lately.  Just follow the basic principle that if it seems to good to be true, then it probably is.

I told the guy that if he's desparate enough to ship his bike to the US at no cost and let sell it well below book value, he should just send the bike and let me wire the money later....    Wonder what kind of response I'll get.

Probably some damn hacker that took over some legit guy's account.
:guns: scammers


For those who can't view the link...  This guy had a '03 F4i in mint condition with only like 3000miles.  And had a "Buy-it-now" at $3200.00

ah, the old half now and half after scam.  That one must work really well, 'cause its everywhere.  Had a similar experience with a cycletrader add.  replying is not a cool idea.  Actually, you probably are wasting your breath anyway, cause he's gonna take on look at your email, realize you aren't gonna go for the scam, and delete it.  If you get a response, I will be truly amazed.

When I find one of these adds, I just report the add and paste the text of the reply into the report email, then let it go.
