Craigslist Sportster Deal
2005 Sportster with 3,664 miles located in coastal New England. Seller asking $1,500 and says husband died 2 months ago, She got a new job and moved back to Omaha, NE. She arranged with eBay to act as the sales agent for the bike (she won't be present).
All I need to do is provide my name, phone number and a shipping address, Once she receives this info then she'll forward it to eBay and they will proceed with the order. eBay won't give her any money until I receive and test the bike which is located at the shipping company (ready to be delivered). I get 5 days to test and inspect the bike.

It kinda stinks to me. I've seen a ton of "deals" like this and put minor effort into and gotten dead ends. I see your in mass, if the bike is anywhere in new England it woul dnt be more than a few hours to actually go check out the bike in person before doing any kind of "give me all our info" deal. Don't see any good reason if this was legit she wouldnt let you go check it out and do some sort of paper work before any payment info is exchanged. Title.... Who has it and where?

Definitely a scam. I'm always scanning Craigslist for bikes and saw an Ultra Limited with very low miles for $6500. Same story as the ad you saw, husband died, moved... I responded to the ad and "she" responded with the same ebay BS. There are good deals to be had out there, but if it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam.
