I guess I called this guys bluff, it was way too cheap not to call, and it was supposed to be local.

Also, can you send me pictures of the actual bike? Any scratches on it, anything wrong with it. Also, if feasible, take a picture of the gauge with the mileage on it.

That's a crazy coincidence, my brother actually is in Vegas right now. I'll give him a call, I'm SURE that he'd be willing to swing by and pick the bike up and give you cash.

Would that be acceptable to you? He can just trailer it back home to GA for me n we can avoid everything

3800 cash, I'll doi it as long as you dont mind his picking it up.

Thanks

Ryan

Hello,

My name is Edward Zampova and I'm glad to see your interest in purchasing my bike ( 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 600 - Miles : 2559 )

What can I tell you in a few words is that I am an individual seller, I am not a dealer and this is my first type of auction on Craigslist. The bike that I have for sell is mine , it is personal property and I am going to sell it because I was promoted to my work and in the same time they gave me a new car for work and moving for my needs, so i don't have time to enjoy this bike. In conclusion, I don't need the bike for the moment and I decided, after a discussion with my wife (sometimes is very difficult to be persuasive, you know what I mean) about selling my bike, because it is sensles to keep the bike only to occupy the garage. In the above I told you I was promoted at work (extraordinary thing) but I had to move with my family in another location (we must do sacrifices all the time) and now I live in Las Vegas, NV. It hasn't been involved in any accident or anything of this type.

My final price on it is US $3800. As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment through eBay. I know you need a bill of sale and the original title and it will be no problem, once you receive the bike, you will receive them as well so you can register the bike on your name. You will have along with the papers that you need for the registration a bill on your name with the price.

Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your FULL NAME and FULL ADDRESS where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.

Best Regards.

Edward Zampova

If nothing is wrong with it, if it's an 06 with that low of miles, not a scratch, I'll pick it up this afternoon. Call me at (Screw you guys) my name is Ryan.

Also, the Ebay thing threw me off. It's more trouble than it's worth either way, but seriously - it wouldnt cover that transaction would it?

Scammers really need to learn how to type casual emails.

They make them all sound the same.

No one living in the US says 'I'm selling it for $3800 US dollars'

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

lol

True

The second paragraph gives it a way.

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Someone explain the Buyers Protection Plan thing. I dont get it.

He gets his money either way though, I suppose. Right?

usually when someone goes all out and types you a 4 page reply its a scam

most people just say

call me at 3434-343-4-33

or yes its for sale ill show it to you call me

 

[x1le 10+ year member]

That email has scam written all over it.

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Agreed.

There's an 05 R6 for sale about half an hour away for 5300, but it's already got 10k miles on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I just got dicked, and this is the reason I'm looking. Wanted a bike for a while.

About a year ago, I found an 03 GSXR 600, 3k miles on it, needed flushmounts because one of the factory blinkers had broken off, it had a dent in the exhaust(D&D slipon) and it had a few very minor scratches where it had fallen over in the garage.

4500, Didnt buy it.

Was thinking ****, I was stupid for that. She relisted that same bike, that day, they decided to keep it and then decided to sell it. I called her ,said I'd pick it up that day(she dropped price to 3800) and she announced someone had already paid for it, and was on the way to get it.

I was not happy.

Someone find me a good deal on a bike. That isnt a scam. Closer to GA = better. I'll add a bonus if I buy the bike you link me to.

thats an old scam. i'm surprised you didn't catch it sooner.

c/l always has "local" cars for sale and the "owners" happen to be out of town and the car is not local....

c'mon guys, don't be a tard.

Exactly, no seller feels the need to explain his life story in vivid detail with his buyers..if his story was true, he would have said something like "yea, but I'm in vegas now so I'll have to ship it to you. if you're still interested give me a call"

Fvcken dumbass scammer. You knew it the whole time, especially after the "persuasive details" about his situation.

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

Now explain this. Please excuse ignorance, I dont deal with much of anything outside of buying on ebay or on here.

I asked for pictures. I got them. It is in fact an 06 GSXR. It has the full yoshi exhaust he described, as well as the same mileage he described. It's the bike he described.

So the question is, did he just, by chance, pick a bike and base his scam off of that, or does he have the bike in reality? It's sweet, lol.

I will fly to Vegas to get it, if he says I can come pick it up. Hell, I'll ride the bish back

 

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

BTW anyone in the Las Vegas area that could check this out for me? If it's honestly all good, I'll fly out and pick it up, ride her home.

Outside of that, meh. If he gives me all of the information I want/need, I might go take a look at it. Bike looks sick

Full Yoshi with midpipe it looks like, frame sliders. It's the white/silver
