too good to be true man... that much chrome prolly cost him 2k+ alone...
he has no feedback and if it seems sketchy, its prolly because it is... just wait till the right one comes alone and catches your eye

You would have to be completely retarded to think that is a legit deal.

If you found a 2005 Corvette making 900hp to the wheels on ebay for $4,000 would you beleive it was legit? Same idea.

Well...I emailed this guy for ***** and giggles..check out the story...


Hello,
I am glad of your interest shown in my bike. First of
all I want to tell you I am located in Dublin, Ireland
and so is the bike. Because of my job I have to move
all the time. I work for Lufthansa Air Cargo. This is
a good thing for you because I can ship it for free. I
am the only owner of it and I have a clean title. I
will send it along with the bike.The price I hope to
obtain is $2,800. About payment method I suggest we
use Ebay's Square Trade to hold the payment until you
receive the bike and test it.It is the safest way and
recommended also.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I
will answer ASAP.
Regards

Ebay's Square Trade? HMM. I bet that doesn't even exist hah.

Negating the fact I've seen that same bike for sale at least 5 times, let's add this up, just for fun.

- Price - yeah right

- Location - LC, Dublin only services the UK. A bike shipped from there would have to go from Dublin to EMA, England, to Frankfurt, Germany; then from there to DFW, and then it would have to be ground shipped from there. That's a long way, a lot of stops, and a lot of hands on for 'free shipping'. I don't care who you work for, that's not in your average benefits package.

- Company Name - It's "Lufthansa Cargo", not "Lufthansa Air Cargo"

- And just because - Those look like Nevada plates on the bike. He says "because of my job I have to move all the time", except Lufthansa doesn't have a cargo hub in Nevada. The closest is LAX.

Include the fact that his item location doesn't match his email, he has 0 feedback, and that square trade bullshit, you even had to ask?

PS - He was booted from ebay 2 days ago too.
