Suspiciously cheap?

[Joelxsix]

Like new carbon Bronson for 2 grand? I dont think so... Could be legit, maybe just a money scam, but there's a slight chance someone just had their dream bike stolen so it's worth a post.

[Joelxsix]

hmm with an email address of zbj5z-4474038500@sale.craigslist.org
I wouldn't trust him, but I guess theres no harm in contacting him to find out some more info about the bike and why it is so goddam cheap

The Craigslist email address is fine....that's just the way the site works to protect your privacy......

Sounds too good to be true.

Here was I thinking it was only for 'meeting up with local girls in your area', but turns out there all sorts of stuff for sale on that site.

It's a scam, that bike photo is being used in ads with online classifieds and websites around the world.

Search locally unless you want to travel to pick something up, I'm sick of reading about people getting ripped off on Gumtree when they try to buy things from other areas and out of state.

Also available for pickup in Philadelphia or Austin

Someone from Sydney go look it, grab the serial and ask the police.

I sent an email off, we'll see what happens.

Mate the same photos are used in ads all over the world... you think they actually have a bike in sydney... you think they are even in sydney... just a scam

That's just nit-picking.

Yeah your right, who am i kidding.

I guess being proactive and try to catch these fools is the wrong thing to do right?

Not sure if serious

...........:whistle:

 

[marc.r]

maybe the guy just didnt have enough time to take his own photo so googled and used the closest one he could find. seems plausible to me.

he still hasnt responded to my offer though. I put in a low ball as I think he doesnt know what its worth.

PM me to buy it off me for an inflated price once ive acquired this rig of this sucker!!!!

 

[pharmaboy]

Youse all are too late, I've bought it, seller assures it's never been ridden, and possibly from a heist of a specialized shop.

Got a wicked deal, just had to organise through western union, and should arrive in a couple of days.....

I am currently on an oil rig...
