Anyone here buy this?
http://allentown.craigslist.org/mcy/4779382726.html

Here is the listing as I saw it, 2 hours after it was posted (note price):


I, of course, immediately sent a message stating that I would bring my cash and trailer ASAP.    No reply.

As few days later, the text of the listing was changed to: "Bike was sold to a collector for asking price."

Well, no surprise there, I would've gladly given the asking price too.   At least from the pictures, it is worth at least twice that.

Well, I checked back again, to download the pics to post here, and now the price has been changed to $5k.    What's the point of that if it has already been sold?

I'm just bummed that I didn't get it.      If only I had been looking at CL, oh, about 1 hour and 50 minutes earlier.

I saw that listing on craigslist too,  I immediately thought scam.  they are on there all the time.  I found this link from 2012 looks from Europe...  Sometimes if something looks too good to be true it most likely is.

Interesting -- notice the European plate on the second pic of the UK listing.    That pic was cropped on the CL listing to not show that plate.

So it looks like it was a scam then. Sell a picture for $1200.00.
