    I wonder how many people get fucked over on this sort of scam, no doubt some poor bastard will soon send a holding deposit. Say 10 people send 10% deposit , $6800 profit ,a lot of cash for playing on people's desire to own a cheap bike.

    In reality you couldnt buy this sort of HD smashed to funkin bits for that price.

    I emailed the guy and got this email in return-Hello,

    Thank you for your interest in purchasing my 2004 Harley Davidson Road King. I want you to know that I closed my auction earlier because someone has offered me the buy it now price, but didn't have all the money available. Now the bike is still available. It is in perfect condition, with no scratches on it, no damage, Always garaged, Always covered. Everything about this bike functions perfectly. Incredible power, handling and reliability. If you are interested in buying, the price is AU $6,800.
    I had to move with my family in United Kingdom where I got a new job transfer. I brought the bike here with me but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I've decided to sell the bike. I want to sell it in Australia because is still registered there. The buyer will receive it along with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it in his name.
    The transaction will be done through Ebay for our own protection, no money first to me. I am registered with their secure trader department and they will handle the trade.
    Your funds will be 100% insured by Ebay until you will receive and inspect the bike, and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
    You will have 5 days from the time you receive the bike to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.

    If you want to buy my harley then e-mail me:
    Full name for the title,
    Shipping address

    As soon as I have this information I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them (please go through them exactly). I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you.


    Looking forward to hearing from you,

    I emailed one of those ads and it was a very sexy lady. I told her she typed very sexy and she was really into me. Finally I decided I didn't want the bike, but I still wanted to be sexy with her, but sadly her internet connection must have been stolen because she stopped emailing me.
    Jenny, if you are reading this I am still waiting to be sexy together.

    As soon as I recieved the above email I sent another one back to him saying  -  Do you think I'm a FU#%ING idiot mate ?? The federalies should be just about on your door step which should help you understand there are more intelligent people than you in the world.  I thought at the very least he might panic a bit.
