It almost looks legit...but why isnt anyone else bidding? The free shipping (worldwide) is a tip off, that you need to be cautious. If you can arraign to see it in person, and look at the title, and pay, and take it your self, then id do it. Anything else...forgetaboutit.


Just for grins, ask if you can get his phone number so you can talk, chances are he wont give you one. Then say you live close enough, that youd like to see it for yourself. He may not give out his home address, but he should be willing to put it in a truck and meet you someplace public. He if puts up barriers to either of those..he phoney.

No, it doesnt look anything close to legit. Why? Because he's selling it for the same price you'd pay for a bone stock 01 banshee. If your greed for a good deal doesnt allow you to see that its a scam go ahead with the purchase. But dont expect anyone to feel sorry for your when you come back whining about your stolen money.

I would say it's a scam not only because of price, but if you read his sentence dialect, it reads like he is from another country also. That bike would have sold in fifteen minutes at that price, if it was a motivated, legit seller willing to provide proof.
