Default z400 SCAM

there is a 2003 suzuki z400 on ebay for sale for a buy it now price of $2850.00, i just wanted you guys to know if you have had one stolen recently, this one MIGHT be yours. i just find it very suspicious, to have a vehicle descripsion, "never ridden, kept in warehouse" and not have a seller location listed and free shipping in the united states.

it isnt stolen it is a scan people are doing on ebay. They still peoples id' s and advertise stuff they dont have. they will try to get the money first and then you will never see the quad. It has been going on for some time now.

im not sure if he acctually is scamming anyone, before i posted this thread, i sent him an email asking about it,i got an email back after i posted this and he said before we paid, we could test it, inspect it and whatnot, if we dont like it, send him the z back and it is forgotten about. he said that the store he worked at had 2 quads and he is to sell them at liquidation prices.i will send info back when i learn more.

if the guy is from Italy or an European country it is definantly a scam. they tried to get me on an harley v-rod.
after that I did a considerable amount of checking around and found out that this has become quite common on ebay.

i saw that z400 on ebay too. like everyone is saying- it is a scam especialy if the guy is from europe. it has been going on for awhile.
I'm not trying to help the scammers out or anything, but did you ever notice that they use the sum of $2800 alot??? if they wanted to throw people off they should change this amount to a more believable figure. there's no way you will get a $5000+ new quad or pretty new for only $2800....unless you are incredibly lucky....

Looks like I'm really lucky, I'm getting a repo for $3300. 2 months old.
But I wouldn't buy it from e-bay w/ a story like that one,sounds fishy.
