Usually when the seller is too lazy to put effort in.

I roll my eyes when they can't even be bothered taking a decent photo. There's sun glare so you can't see it properly, it's in a dark shed, out of focus or haven't even bothered to wash the bike. All red flags
"Heaps of interest, I've got another two, three, eight hundred and six, people coming to look at it if you don't take it". Why not just say no offers?

I always assume this it when they are in the shed halfway through smoking a bowl and decided they want to sell it.
Or stolen.

Pics or it didn’t happen!
Pic must include your tower of bike lights and a schrader valve for verification purposes.

Be very careful of what you wish for. We all were subjected to a certain bum bruise from a similar request.
1. When they itemise all of the upgrades and add the full value to the asking price (like modding cars, it doesn't work that way. Especially when all of the "upgrades" are hanging off a garbage frame like a Polygon).
2. "Best bike I've ever ridden" - usually said by a 14 year old or a COVID rider who started MTB 12 months ago (again, usually in relation to a Polygon or the like). How many bikes have you ridden? Also, if it's so good, why are you selling?
3. When Yeti riders from Sydney put an ad up for their SB150 and say "ridden twice, too much bike for me, changing to an SB130". LOL.
4. When the ad says "better than XX bike or XX component". Was forwarded an ad from an E-MTB sale page a few months ago where the wanker put this line in that Lyriks are the best single crown fork on the market, better than fox 38, DVO etc. Also LOL.

Above post reminded me of this so I'll just continue....
5. When idiots drag their 13 year old carbon Epic out from the garage and advertise it as "cost me $10k new, so grab a bargain for $3k."
