1500 miles with a buy it now of $3,000.

[runninhorn]

scam.

[jrstang]

its a scam !

[aceman85turbo]

there is a scam/hack going around where someone steals your ebay password, changes billing instructions, and posts up fraudulant auctions.

$3000... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

[bpawl]

tell him you want to come see it before the auction ends...

[a5up3rm4r10]

look at the house that is not in hurst....

tell him you want to stop by to look at it. hell ill stop by and buy it right now for that.

[Super Coupe]

Yeah its tricky because he has a good feedback score. But nobody in their right mind would sell a brand new bike for 3k. :rolleyes:

[poopnut2]

Wait, it is a scam because the bike has been photoshopped into the pics.

[cool cat]

I wish my house in Hurst had a basement.

[AL P]

As soon as you e-mail him to ask about bidding on the bike, the ad will disappear. I'm e-mailing him now.

[poopnut2]

I emailed him.

[Super Coupe]

Wait, it is a scam because the bike has been photoshopped into the pics.

Now that I take a closer look it does look kinda PS. Hmmm.

The bike doesn't even cast a shadow. :D

[BlueLT1SS]

did someone actually take the time to PS 5 different pictures? it definately looks like it, but why waste that much time?

[Phillystang]

Scam... Most of the cases of stolen passwords have something like

"just send me an email at ____ for any questions, if you use the ask seller a qustion I will not be able to see it"

[Dan Partin]

Somebody get this guys address and I'll go to his house and buy it this weekend!

[HUTCH]

[likeitfast55]

Now it is "invalid item" removed by e-bay ummmmmm now who thinks this is a real pic of the bike???

[ram57ta]

Thats the same person that was posting a 2004 ZX6R a month ago that was in "Cedar Hill" for $3000 buy it now. The bike had a polished frame, polished wheels, custom paint, race exhaust, 2 new Arai helmets, 2 jackets, 2 sets of gloves, extra warranty, etc,etc,etc. I got the EXACT same reply....word for word.
I also found an 04 R6 in the cycle trader a few months ago that was basically in the same condition....all kinda high dollar mods and extra parts....in Baton Rouge LA...I wanted to come down and see it...and the guy turns out to be in Italy or some shit and wants to ship it AFTER I wire him the 3000 dollars.
You guys think this is hilarious and think what kind of stupid fuck would fall for that....but believe me....they wouldn't be posting these things if they werent making money.

[ram57ta]

Give him 24 hrs......he'll have another one up or maybe even the same one from a different name and city.

[Ted]

I wish they hadn't taken this down. I'd like to buy it but I'd have to send a check for $5000 and get $2000 sent back first
