Yeah, but with a ZERO feedback, the scam likelihood is only, say, 120%.... :evil:

He has a reverse image Gold Star for sale, as well. Send him some reverse image money and see if he bites.

I wonder why it doesn't wet sump. It must have some of that new antigravity oil. Just one shelf down from the antileak oil. Jim

If this isn't a scam I'm the king of Siam. I wonder how these scams work though. Surely no one would be stupid enough to send payment. What would this person do if someone offered to turn up in person with cash. Sorry if this sounds naive but I would really like to know.

It's quite simple, you have to pay the money first and it's all guaranteed by ebay returns policy....There was a Velocette Venom on a couple of weeks ago. Just amazes me why ebay allow this to go on as underpriced bikes with zero feedback is so obvious ..

Its not an auction but an Ebay UK Classified advertisement, no protection !!!!!

Ebay are acting as a Newspaper and not part of the transaction.

It's amazing how desperate some old guys are to relive their misspent youth... they sometimes act swiftly, sometimes irrationally. Some must bite... or these scammers would dry up and blow away.

He is probably just having a good laugh to if anyone is really stupid enough to go for it. Love the pictures perhaps he was using a left handed camera?
