I had to laugh at your use of the word "possible" in the title...

I can't believe people are dumb enough to fall for this crap...
Do people actually send them money? HAHAHA for them..

2 more obvious signs it a scam. Reply never has your name in it because it's computer generated and the bike is always somewhere else. Just moved there. I love the ones that will ship the bike to you for free especially when the bike's overseas.

When they tell you what city the bike is in now just tell them that's great. My brother lives there. I'll have him come over and check it out for me. What's the address.

You won't get a response.

Sometimes the purpose of the scam is to farm email addresses. Responding to one of these ads gives them your email and then it's hacked and used for other spam

My Girlfriend works with a Lady that was going to buy this car from CL. It was about a 1/4 of what it was worth. She had to send a deposit and they would ship the car from Texas to New York. I told her to RUN that it was a SCAM and she didn't believe me. Argued with me that she was sure it was a GOOD DEAL!!!!! I finally said if you want to argue with me about it you DESERVE to BUY IT!!!!!
