Add for R1, 2009, blablabla, advertised in Plymouth (Thats where i live)

So i e-mail the guy and get a rather quick reply even tho its 00:05, here is the reply.

Hey, just seen your add for R1, bike still for sale? Is it HPI clear? Any outstanding finance on it? How much do you want for the bike, i live in Plymouth so a quick deal can be done.
Thanks, Yarri

Hi, the bike is still for sale at the price of £2500 and as you can see on the pictures it is in a very good state. It was used only by me and I took care personally of it, I washed it meticulously after every ride and I changed the oil periodically. It`s HPI clear and will come with a full up to date Service History, Owner’s Manual, Log book and with two sets of keys. By the way, it is now stored in Scotland with a shipping company and if you were to buy it, an agent would have to deliver it at your location.
Thanks

There's another R1 advertised for peanuts, add created only hour before previous.

2009 R1 for £2500?

If your stupid enough to fall for that, you deserve to get mugged off.

You'll have to send the shipper the cash via worldpay and only when you are satisfied will the seller get the cash, just so you know it's secure Laughing

Yeah, someone a bit nice but dim will hand over their hard earned to these low life.

Do kind of deserve it for getting stitched in such an obvious way

I would reply saying that if they deliver the bike to you then you will pay cash on delivery. See what they say and then report them to gumtree or trading standards.
