Selling my bike on ebay and i have a german guy wanting to buy it but he's now asking if i can arrange delivery Shocked

Could this be some sort of scam? I told him i'd only accept cash (uk£)

At first he was talking about coming over and riding it back there,but now he's saying he's got a bad back.(i explained to him the bike was not built for motorway use- 230cc 2 stroke with knobbly tyres)

So any opinions ?
This his last message to me :

do you know a better way to get it to Germany? Do you have a truck or so? I would be willing to pay a reasonable sum for delivery because these bikes don't exist here. I have a bad back....but that won't stop me from bidding as long as delivery can be worked out.

I told him that i expect the full amount in cash before i let go of the bike.

What's my options for getting the bike delivered there? sounds really expensive.I'm assuming he'd be paying me the full price + delivery costs in advance straight into my bank account (it's the only way i'd consider it)

To be honest, I wouldn't even bother. I'd rather sell for a bit less than deal with all that kind of hassle.

Cheers for the link ste,i forgot about that Thumbs Up

His feedback is all good [username= leopard_zwei ] so he seems to be a genuine buyer.

Here's the ebay ad : Link
I'm hoping for £1000 for the bike. Am i being too greedy?
Had a few offers so far but even the highest was only £850 Confused lowest being £500 Laughing I'd rather keep it than sell it for less than a grand.
