Doubtful auction site motorcycle listing

Murf:
Well done for reporting this obvious scam let’s see if anything gets done about it.  However eBay is not good at this, members of the CBX clubs have reported a number of obvious scams involving CBXs but the adds never get taken down.  I get the impression eBay is a scammers paradise these days. 

The only thing I would say about this scam is that the bikes are priced so low it’s pretty obvious.

All items have been removed.  Which is good.  Wonder why it took so long.  I doubt we will find out.

Edit.... 1 motorcycle has just reappeared.  Maybe more to follow.

I recall one such advert on eBay a number of years back for a CB750 when I was on the hunt for a project. I made contact with the seller and asked if I could view the bike. So he said it was difficult because it was in a lock up in Thurso. He thought the address was that obscure that no one would want to travel to the most northerly town in the UK. So I replied and said that’s perfect it just accross the water from where I live. So he then came up with the excuse that it was in a lock up and he was away working, so I said well when would he be home? O not for a while and he lived in the Midlands. By this time he was starting to suspect I was stringing him alone. So my last message to him was that it was my belief that he was a crook and only out to con some innocent person out of paying out a deposit for a bike that you never owned in the first place! Never heard any more.😜
