It's a scam, i know this right off the bat. "This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only" hahaha. Come on now, how many bike owners out there would sell a good condition 04 1000gsxr for 3100? why would they sell it for that cheap when they can get way more?

It looks like he's trying to find a sucker to "buy it", pay in full and then realize later that he's been scammed

I am not in any way trying to be mean, but come on guys. These "Is this for real" posts are getting old. Use your common sense. If it seems to good to be true, IT IS! Its as simple as that. [/end rant]

You know that is a very good point. The thing I don't get is.. why are these scammers posting it for so cheap? I mean they are listing the buy it now prices at more than half off the book value.. if they made the price low but still kept the price believeable then I'm sure they'd get more victims.. at least that's what I'd do if I was a scammer

yeah, I don't get it either. But I guess if scamming people is the only way they can make money they're not that smart to begin with. I have to hand it to this guy though, all those fake auctions and names that he setup to get the good feedback. Notice you can't look at the items that were purchased.

LOL.. good point man.. scammers are dumb *****.. they don't realize sooner or later they will get caught.. Sometimes I wonder who these people really are ya know? Scamming cuz they want to or because they are really that broke. How can you sleep at night knowing you stole thousands of hard earned money that someone else made?? Oh well..
As far as the good feedback thing.. I think there is a simple explaination for that... most of the people who pull these scams don't do it with their own accounts, they hack into good ebayers accounts and post the auction. Most ebayers don't realize this is happening to them usually which is why you see so many ads!

Unfortunatley, a lot of SUCKERS fall for this crap. I would never buy anything without seeing the bike in person and especially if they are not in the US!
