Scam or not?

There are a lot of these coming up on eBay. Does anyone know if they are genuine or a scam. They look too good to be true to me, I imagine you pays your money up front and no bike appears.

I bet they are legit. registered ebay business seller good feedback.

But.. imagine the import fees and shipping would be enormous, you may have to arrange that yourself.

There are plenty of ebay sellers already doing this.

Nurse Julie:
Not scammers but just because they say 'free shipping' there are still all the other costs incurred. Also, you don't really know what you're buying. Very high risk purchase.

They say shipping is free to Barrow in Furnace, import costs are 5% of the sale price plus £125 for docks and Nova. Still think its too good to be true, I mean a reasonable looking Bonneville for 4k?

What makes me really suspicious is the small deposit via paypal then bank transfer for the rest. So no financial protection there.

That’s the company I bought my latest project from. I don’t know how they can ship free. But they do ship free of charge. No hidden charges the tell you what additional charges are, ie- vat5% nova registration etc, I paid £165 additional charges total on top of bike price. They seem to be a good outfit, and there’s a guy called Billy Woodburn in Barrow in Furness and he does the receiving and handling at this end. Good communication and I would recommend them.
