I took the liberty of asking the seller a question, it is not in the states or the uk, bit of a long story that would stop me pressing ther "bid now" button, summat dont seem right.

It appears Ebay has removed it.......

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my bike.
First of all I must inform you that currently I'm in Netherlands and i have
to let you know that the bike is here with me .I am the first owner of the
bike; I bought it directly from an authorized dealer.
No damage,no scratches or dents,never touched the ground, no hidden defects,
and it is as advertised. The bike is an UK model with UK specs, and comes
with all the documents you need to register it( including clear title)
,still under warranty(extended at 2 years) .
The bike has a clear title wich you will receive it included in the package.
It can be registerd into your name,so stay cool about this.
If you wondering about the low price(2200GBP) you should know that i can't
afford it anymore because my boss set me free from my job and i realy need
the money right now.
I have to tell you that I have other serious offers that I have to consider
and I will make a decision regarding this sale function of time of payment
and price.
The bike will be shipped from Netherlands and i will cover the shipping
costs and insurance. You will not have to pay additional taxes,just only the
price for it.
The inspection period for it is 30 days.
If you agree with these terms,let me know and i will be more than glad to
start to complete the transaction with you.
Thank you for your time and I hope that you will have the pleasure to drive
this bike.
Kind regards,
Madeline

bizzare, some very dubious lies as well!


theconrodkid - 26/2/04 at 10:48 AM

a hint of nigerian?


ijohnston99 - 26/2/04 at 12:19 PM

Most Dutch folks speak better english than me (I am Scottish after all)

Defo sounds dubious. Although if you did a CoD, maybe not so.
