if not and you live near this place and can go see the bike someone would be wise to buy but I doubt it is legit. 1st is the link to the bike that I saw here in the local craigslist in Jacksonville Florida.

My 1st email to the seller

Can u send me some pictures of the bike? Is the asking price$4950? How many miles on the bike?
thanks



Response from seller;

Hi,
I am selling this bike because my platoon has been sent back to Afghanistan and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before 29th of September. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident..I do have the title , clear, under my name.The bike have 13,058 miles, year 2006 It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4950. The bike is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Thanks


My response;


If the bike was in Jacksonville I would be very interested if its in the condition u say its in but since it isn't I have no way to determine that.

Thanks for the reply


Seller;

As I've told you , I am in Great Falls, MT in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan. I do a special training program each day and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want. The shipping wont be a problem and I will do it at no cost to you because it will be made by the army. You will receive the bike along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more. Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal using an authorized third party like eBay, using their Business Purchase Protection Program .The payment will be handled by eBay and you will benefit of the 5 day inspection time period and the option to accept or reject the bike on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address.
I will forward your info and they will notify you about our deal
Hope to hear from you soon

My response;


Thanks but I can not purchase something without being able to see and touch it first.


Ther was no return email after that which I expected. I am not even in the market but like to see what is out there and even though it would be pushing the budget if that bike was here local and that was the price the OL' lady would have herself a new ride

 

Scam!!!

 

It is listed in Jax Fl, but the bike and owner is in Montana? Something smells fishy to me.

 

military base in great falls, mt? where? http://www.malmstrom.af.mil/visitora...nformation.asp

 

Hella SCam, dont do it!

 

Yep scam. I flag them everytime I see their ad

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I am not going to do it. There is no way I would buy and not be able to see it in person like I said in a response to the seller. I am not

Now in saying I would purchase a bike without seeing it in person if it looked legit but this sure as heck isn't legit

 

first thing on this list http://www.dasautoshippers.com/fraud...on-center.html
anything selling for just under $5k is suspicious . dunno about in the US but up here the penalty for fraud over 5k is more severe than under 5k

 

It's a SCAM! I went thru exactly the same thing helping sell a friend's RV. A definite SCAM! SJ Ron

 

There was a thread a while back with that same exact bike on it. Scam for sure. Flag it and report.
