Scam.. Stay away. The third party shipper is the give away. Ask for his phone number.

I agree - scam.

I've posted a link to the common way this sort of scam works. When I was trying to sell a couch online, I had the same sort of offers that mention third party shippers.

I only agree to sell this to you if I ship it out myself Fedex. Too many scams out there and I have to play it safe. Give me your phone number so that we can talk. Look forward to hearing from you.


By the way. Dave you missed a "must have LOOK item" on ebay while you were pedaling around the island. You'll see it in the Look forum under something like "Hey DH".

best way to find out if scam or not: Just say you live near the area of the seller and ask if you can go look at the bike in person.



if it's a scam, it'll leave the scammer speechless.

He is trying to scam the SELLER, sir.
