yeah i think it's mostly that they "pay" you, but it never clears and someone comes and takes your bike. i never have really heard any stories of anyone going through with it.

I have had that email twice now. Someone sent an email in broken english, stating they would pay almost double what I was asking for the bike. The advised they would send either a cheque or Western Union payment.

Next their special shipping company was supposed to come pick up the bike and payment would clear - the "extra" money was to cover the delay in payment.

Scam - the last thing I want is these crooked ass f*ckers knowing where I live and where the bikes are kept. When I asked the buyer for his info, I got the run around and he said I didn't need it since he was taking care of the shipping.

Told him to suck rocks!

They won't come to you! It ruins it then, you've got to make an effort to piss them off! I purposly stay on the phone (if i'm not busy) umming and ahhing with people trying to sell me stuff, i try and keep them as long as possible because i know they're on commission.

I know, find an old bike in an alley or skip and post that instead, then they've paid the shipping, FOR NOTHING!!!!!
