Is this for real? Ebay listing

[m0l0t0v]

Right so at the description it says it's only done 800 miles and it's an '05 model yet when he writes about it he says it'san '03.

Would like to know what to do. I've contacted the seller (has no feedback) asking if the £1,300 is real. Not said I'm buying it though.

Would really like to know as I'm saving up for a CBR600. Was thinkign an f but if this RR is onyl for £1,300 then I'm having it.

Think it's definatly worth a look at, although best seeing the VSR on it, seeing if any finance outstanding etc..

[m0l0t0v]

I've contacted himso I've got nothing to lose at the moment.

I'm just wondering as to why the price is so low.

Wondering if he meant to put 13,000 instead also. Though I highly doubt that.

EDit: 'scuse the ignorance, but VSR? I don't know much yet.

A vehicle status report, although just noticed he hasn't put the Reg there though, so you would have to go see the bike then get the info I think.

Has to be a mistake.

To be honest, I think that comes under the category of "If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.".

The going rate for that bike is closer to £3,000. If he comes back saying it was a typo and he meant £3,100, I'd believe it.

I wouldn't even bother my arse going to look at it at that price, if he is genuinely offering that bike at £1300, there is something seriously dodgy going on.

Look at the pictures, that bike is not in the UK, the cars and the houses look pretty American

Yup.

Definately thought too good to be true. Wanted to check anyways.

Top detective work jaguar65uk.

I've reported the ad to ebay as suspicious.

[Stevie B]

Yeh as already decided it does seem pretty sketchy.

To be fair I would have looked elsewhere as soon as i saw the title 'CBT 600RR'!

I mean wtf, doesn't the guy even know what bike he is selling?! Plus there are some weird typos in there too that put me off a seller, let alone his offerings, straight away.

Of course it's a con. The car in the background even has a foreign plate.

I'd rather have his turbo'd 05 gsxr though for £1300.

[hybrid]

just to back you guys up, if you look closely at the pic, you can also see a yellow pedestrian crossing sign.... very american, and not very british

[gavin]

tis a scam, and an old one at that. he will ask you to wire him the money through moneygram or western union. you wont see your money again, or the bike. and you'll have absolutely no comeback on anyone.


report to ebay, now!

*doesnt even get his barge pole out for risk of damaging it*

Total scam, as above.

(pointless post? Just adding to the consensus for anyone who isnt convinced!)

'Is this a rhetorical question?'

[angryjonny]

[Stelmer]

Hey, have a look at the seller's other items

A ''2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000'' with 1747 miles £1300 ROFL

[tomski_w]

I all sounds/looks a bit "suspect" to me. Take a look at the pictures, the cars aren't UK style cars and they're parked on the wrong side of the road. ic was taken abroad somewhere, so why is he trying to sell it in the UK??

The word "ringer" springs to mind.

Tip: Avoid it like the plague.

[Stelmer]

It's in America. I reconise the architecture.

The prices and the fact that's it's a cliassified ad with less than basic info are screaming scam. Shame some poor soul will fall for it.

Everyone with an ebay account please report both listings.

[Mudskipper]

[st3v3]

nicely put, these types of adverts are all too common, they should have someone sat at a pc in Ebay HQ shutting them down.

I have mailed him saying I will be in London on Wednesday and I want to see the bike (with cash in my pocket).
I wonder what he will do?
Lie I guess

Either that or he'll arrange to meet you somewhere. With some of his friends. And a two-foot piece of scaffolding.

[tomski_w]

Besides all of that, who in their right mind would by something like that from someone with "ZERO FEEDBACK!"

But some idiot no doubt will

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Even if you report it and the listing and account are locked, it'll just pop up again next week. I've seen that same CBR listing for the past year or so....
