It seems to be always from the U.K. We should ask him questions and have him take pics of the other side of the bike. Ha,Ha.

I remember the same thing happened to powderboy's RFX. Only he wasn't selling.

Maybe the e-bay seller is hoping to get more than you're asking on mtbr and is going to keep the delta. :confused:

Sad thing is that e-mailing e-bay will de list this one, but it wont matter as they will be back under a new account name in no time at all doing the same thing. Good thing you guys noticed this one at least so you messed up this listing. No doubt though some people go all the way and get screwed....

What if by some quirk of fate this poor ebay dude really does have exactly that same bike for sale (with the same background in his picture)? Stranger things have happened you know.....in movies.

Boy will you guys feel silly :D
 
how messed up would it be, if Ebay got who ever bid last and made them pay up and then the guy won...not that it woul dever happen..but I never knew a connondale is worth so much!!

Hey and this might be my ignorance but,...since I just sold my bike..one person emailed me and asked if I could his paypall account(in brazil) and send it to his Uncle in Miami. What kinda of scam do they do? Im new , i sold it to a guy in cali..but was curious abou tthis kinda stuff...

I guess Im a newb....

Busted.

Please don't hate me, though. My father is a very wealthy king in our country. He was recently thrown into prison by rebels and we desperately need money to break him out again. Please donate to this cause and I promise that you will be repaid tenfold once he regains his throne...

I wonder if the fake Ebay posters ever fall victim to the Nigerian scammers...
