Yeah, it's sad isn't it?

I watch Ebay quite a bit, and I see about 5-8 of those scams a day, but people must still be falling for them, otherwise they would have stopped a while back.

Looks like an American bike to me, it's got the reflectors on the forks.

How often do you see CBR600RR's for sale genuinely for just over a grand?

Thought not, hence the scam!

Theres tonnes of them on ebay and I really don't understand how people fall for them! Rolling Eyes

It just stinks of it. The guy has zero feedback and he just registered. There's no description at all which is suspicious. He says he offers free shipping and he's willing to post it worldwide Very Happy

plus, he says its got a 12 month MOT when its a 2003 bike Rolling Eyes

I see, I've never looked for a Cbr so I would not know the prices. What is the actual scam then? Is the bike buggered or just dirt cheap?

It's an American picture, so I'd guess American bike. So, you'd have to ask why it would need an MOT... Rolling Eyes

(I reasoned it was an American picture as the fencing and gate behind the bike look typical American style garden fence).

Nice scam... find a picture of a nice bike, advertise it on ebay and take the Paypal transaction and the buyer never sees a bike.

I notice one of the bidders is called "copper". I presume he's not in fraud squad then. Rolling Eyes

Interestingly, the advertiser has Escrow available - a silly thing to do if it is a con, especially on such a high value piece of gear...

Was a little surprised to see only 540 on the clock though...

It amazes me that people are bidding on it. I took me two seconds to work out that it's a US bike. The yellow is a North American Colour and the reflector strips on the front forks are a US requirement. As for the MOT certificate with 12 months remaining on an 03 bike! Hmm.

Makes me want to email some of the bidders and ask em what they are thinking.
