There have been a lot of craigslist scams lately. Almost all of them have the bikes priced right around $3k, with the bike worth $5,000+. Any bike I see at $2950 or right around there that's worth considerably more I just hit the flag button... When you contact the person they'll tell you they are overseas, or the bike is at a shipping terminal somewhere, etc and their esteemed agent will be handling the transaction. I assume it's a standard advanced fee fraud, they either hit you up for money to clear customs or something, or they get you to wire payment before delivery or they overpay with a fake check and want you to refund the difference. Either way they get your money and the bike doesn't exist.

Based on the actual ads, I think they just copy other peoples legit ads since they seem to have a lot of details sometimes.
