anyone see that madone 5.9 for sale on the classified page? $1450, right? not a bad deal. methinks there is a scammer at work. after asking him how much shipping would be and to please send me the serial number, this was the reply:

Great trip question, I can't wait to see the reply!

the thing that sucks is when they reply to your ads or especially ebay sales. i've had a few "inquiries" from ads i've placed here and ebay. i even had the same exact "letter" with 2 different names but wanting it shipped to a third person in ohio.

Funny bit about the flux capacitor. Ask him if it needs one-point-twentry-one giga watts of electricity.

I get emails from scammers too as reply to stuff I am selling in the classifieds. The typical Nigerian Check Scam routine.

But what I find equally as annoying as check scam emails are the real buyers who email me with just "Tell me your best price" or "Give me your final price".
