Wondering why you would put a bike up for sale without being willing to sell it? Not sure I understand that part.

Send a copy of all correspondance to the Federal Trade Commision

explain the situation. Give them all the information you have.

My best advice

Sure,tell him to come in person and hand you cash.Deal done.

Any time someone wants to purchase a vehicle withwired money,Western Union,not in person,casheirs checks,etc-,use caution!
Even with wired money,thetransaction can be reveresed.

ORIGINAL: Ram

I'd be very cautious of anyone outright saying that they want to ship over seas. Scam's abound, this is one of the tell-tail signs of a scam. Not that it may be legit. How-ever comma!

If someone was really interested they would arrange a meeting or send you the money. What ever they do with it after the sale is on them and none of anyones business.

IMHO, stand back from this one, way back.
young guy works next door to my store just put a grand in a POS 95 mercedes. seems he's selling it over seas for 20 large!!! all we can do is shake our heads. PT BARNUM was right. some times ya cant save someone from themselves

if the buyer is in the metro ofer to pay his ticket and tell him to come over with cash only, then you would now for sure if its a scam.
you can tell him also you have a relative in his area that will come to pick up the cash from him.
