...with these supercheap bikes that pop up every once in a while on bikesales? There I go thinking I did well by not re-mortgaging my house to buy my '91 FXR scooter that still needs work and then you see these clowns advertising an '08 Deluxe for way less at $8k...? Will they take your kidney as well...?

unsure whether you're allowed to post links here but there ya go Isaac:

alternatively just punch in your prompts (HD, <$10k, VIC)

not tempted (lie of the year) but still odd & it's by far not the only one; these pop up quite regulalrly...

agree, just must be dodgy...

 

 

first giveaway is the price, second is the price, etc. definitely dodgy.

the plot thickens...

You got a 91 FXR Dutch, your a rich man now well done mate you will enjoy that scoot.

heh, i thought id have a bit of fun with the seller, mainly as the ad states its in ballarat, an hr up the road if it is legit(which i very highly fuckin doubt). just got a reply email.


Hi ,

Thank you showing interest in my 2008 Harley Davidson Softail Custom !
The general condition of the bike is excellent, very well maintained, no damages, no mechanical problems and no electrical issues. I have all the paperwork and the registration expires December this year. It has 7,650 km and the price is $8,400. Because of my divorce settlement, i own this bike and as a woman without driver`s license i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible.
I just got a new job and moved so get back with me to organize this sale.

Thank You!

You'll soon know if it's a scam when you contact them...
'It's in storage in Darwin as I am currently working on an oil rig. Just deposit into this account...blah blah

Warblade, if it's legit I feel a carton of beer coming in my direction as commission that I'll enjoy with Isaac in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland...  

Oh nooo, there goes the bike's listing, taking by beer with it.

Sorry Isaac; it's the thought that counts...

 

These stories crack me up. You were there Chopa so I'm sure it's true, but who in their right mind would allow their cranky man-hatin' ex Missus sell their boy toys like Harleys and Porches etc?! They deserve to be shafted! 

 

They were shafted, by the ex lol

if it looks too good to be true , it usually is !!! 

Exactly the same bullshit story that cost me $7000. Didnt think i was a gullible person but as embarrassing as it is to admit they got me cold.
They will even respond to your enquirys with official looking ebay letter heads telling you that everything is cool to send money via western
union to have item released.
Cant even track em down to kick seven shades of shit out of them,fuck fuck fuck double fuck. (still not over it)
