seriously, if you are interested... and he doesn't want to ship... let me go buy it for you and i'll crate and ship for you!  i just want to sit on the terribly pristine bike.   

i emailed him and have a pdf sale flyer w/ pix of the bike.   VERY NICE.

unfortunately i'd look like a monkey humping a football sitting on a 350 f lol. and atlanta is only 3 1/2 hours away.

Unfortunately, that's what I do look like on my 350.

So, what was it?  It's been flagged for removal.  If anyone needs me to go look at it, it wouldn't be a problem.  And I've spent all my money, so no worries about me buying it.   

[Uncle Ernie]

Maybe it was some kind of scam.  I've recently heard of a Harley Fatboy on CL asking something stupid like $6K but it turns out to be wonky somehow.
Who the heck is going to sell any /2 that low? 

Fuzzy- let us know what happens to your inquiry, please.

this is the reply i got from the "seller"


Hi,
The bike is in great condition, it has been properly maintained, never been dropped or abused in any way. It has clear title and the price I'm selling it for is $2990, which is including all the shipping charges.
I live in Atlanta but currently I am with work in UK, London for the next approximately 7 months. Anyway, there shouldn`t be any problem, because I`m using MoneyBookers services so I can sell the bike without difficulty.
I left the bike at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. They will take care of the delivery. There`s a 14-day return policy so you will have the chance to test, inspect and ride it before final decision.
So if you want to purchase it, drop me a line and I will explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can move forward.
I am waiting your email.
Thanks

Dudley Revet


this didnt look kosher to me so i had to pass it up

[dustyc]

The way he's interested in explaining how moneybookers works makes it smell fishy.  I'd be asking to see the bike and for contact info.

Typical craig's list scam.  I get this alot when I'm trying to sell bikes:
"I am interested in your Item on craigs.  Please tell me your final bottom price.  Send me your name and address and I will send you a cashier check and location to ship to."

or

"Good day seller,
How are you today and how is work over there, i willbe buying the item you posted here but i will like to tell you that iwill be paying with a certified check in US dollars and as for the shipment my shipper will come for the pick up at your location upon your confirmation of receiving the payment and i dont want you to look for any other buyer.I would have love to come down for the pickup,But i do not have chance to do that now due to my job but am satisfied with your discription of the item i will like you to give me your contact info for me to mail your payment

1....Your full name to be on the check
2....Your full contact address to send the payment to
3....Your zip code
4....Your mobile or home phone no to reach you. I will expect your mail. ASAP

Thanks in Advance."

Scams on craig's?  No way!  Never!  LOL

[mark]

This could be a reason why every craigslist ad starts with " Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee... ".

[my78k]

LOL...yeah there are a ton on there! Sux too because those are the deals I am looking for all the time and every time I see a good one it is one of those scammers living 3000 miles away from the bike they are trying to sell!
