Surfin for a bike
I was surfin for a bike on cycle trader. I found a 01 883 Sportster with 107 miles and mild modifications one it for $3495. I called the number and it was a fax machine. I e-mailed instead. The person replyed and said he was in the Netherlands and the price included shipping to the US ( the ad in cycle trader was from Helena MT) I call bs. Opinions anyone????????I told him I wouldn't pay for a bike I couldn't see.

Wouldn't fall for it if I were you. He probably wants you to send the money first too? Ask him about escrowing the bike/money and see his response - bet you don't hear back from him.
My advice - keep it in the US - hell keep it as local as you can. I'd buy a bike as far away as I'm willing to travel to make the deal.

I e-mail him this morning told him if he could ship it back home ( he said he moved overseas to be with his wifes family ) I would drive there to look at the bike. No answer yet.........hmmmmmmm. I smell a scam.

He just e-mailed me again. Sent pics this time. Says he is waiting for my reply. Persistant person. I asked for the dealer that he purchased the bike from and who did the work on his aftermarket parts but he doesn't say anything about that. Really nice bike.......but.........when something is to good to be true, it usually is.
