That is a classic Scam, they want you to "Wire" the money.
I have emailed about several bikes on EBAY that were "Too good to be true"
I offered to come, pay CASH when I picked it up, the guy declined,
"I am currently out of the country on business, it needs to be done by wire transfer, or an Escro, (which is not bad, if the company is legit, they hold the money until you get the product, and have accepted it, ebay has one that is,) And I will ship it FREE OF CHARGE! I told him I would use EBAYS, he said, I don't have an account with them, I have one with this company,,,

If you report an add like that to Ebay it is pulled usually within the day......

RUN as fast as you can, LOL

Although DAS is a dependable auto shipper as I have used them in the past, the part of E-bay holding the money sounds like a scam to me. I bought a bike on E-bay before and did the whole thing of money being held like that, but it wasn't by e-bay. Both me and the seller agreed to use an outside party (I can't remember the name of the company) to do exactly that I sent money to them they hold the funds, he shipped the bike, once I got the bike and signed for it and approved everything was good they released the money to him and everything was good. Although the pics he sent you have and show the VIN number it's really hard to say if he's legit or not. Get a phone number fomr everyone he want's to deal with and talk to him and his brother, and if not then I wouldn't send him a cent.

Did anybody notice the grammar was a little funny in the email? Is he fighting for the French or the U.S.? I got involved with a SEUC a few years ago using a third party shipper. The third party shipper did not exist. The shipper was owned by the scammer. The shipper would hold the money til I was satisfied. When I told him I wanted to go from Texas to Indiana to see the bike he started himhawing on me. Tell him you want someone to look at it and the fun will start. T.
