Anybody interested in this deal? I found this bike on Craigslist in Columbia, SC. Darn good deal if it were true! Hello and thank you for your e-mail. This is the second time when I am trying to sell my bike. First time I tried eBay,cause i am using their services since 2003.Because all the time I use only 100% safe methods I sent the bike through eBay Vehicle Protection Program to a buyer from Alaska.I paid all the shipping fees from my own pocket and when eBay have requested the payment the buyer have refused to pay because his loan had been rejected.I don't know what else I can say now... I am really upset with the situation.I don't have time to waste with another auction or anything else. We can have this done via eBay,cause the bike is still in their custody. 2007 BUELL XB12R FIREBOLT in excellent working condition, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions with a clear title ready to be signed and notarized. 5,937 miles,cruiser,black,1203cc. VIN#:4MZAX03D773300170. eBay will keep us safe and i will not be worried, and i guess that you won't be worried either. The price ($2.950.00) includes all the taxes and fees, therefore you don't have to worry about anything of this matter. The delivery will be completed in max 2-3 days. Should you find that the bike is not as I've described it, you can return it to me on my expense. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Let me know if you are still interested. Thank you! adrian sabreda sabreda45@gmail.com |

LOL, I was unaware that Ebay handles all the shipping between parties from their Enchanted Warehouse of Holding (+5 of course!). ~SM |

I just got myself another check in the mail yesterday from a scammer. That makes 3! I love it because they send them Next Day Air, and it's costs them 30 bucks each time. Check out 419eater.com. |

Hey, post this in the SC Buell Riders forum; we have several BadWebbers in the Columbia area. See how the advertiser acts when you say you want someone to drop by and check out the bike. |

That IS how they react when you say you want to check it out- they say it's in Alaska or whatever. |

Sorry- didn't read it closely enough the first time. Surely we have a Badwebber or two in Alaska, or at least he could claim we do... |

I really can't think of anything that would be more gratifying than opening a whole barrel of whoop azz on one of these scammers. I hate thieves!! I remember a few years back, I got a comp virus. I googled it and found that somebody was actually able to trace the whole scam back to the name and address of the guy that started it. I think he was in New Amsterdam. Imagine how great it would it be to unveil a scammer!! |

Who needs to have someone local? Just reply back that YOU ARE in the area and would like to see the bike and complete the deal in person. I had someone steal pictures from one of my eBay auctions ('04 CBR600RR) and post it into a fraud auction. I didn't let on who I was and strung them out for several days. Turned out the scammer was in the the UK. |

pity you cant have them just email each other and leave the rest of us alone. Or maybe just take their emails and sign them up for random porn sides... |

What really pisses me off is to see that these scammers are using the name and rank of our troops over seas to run these scams! I received one today from a "Sgt. Mark J Loranty." This guy is impersonating a member of our military. I think I'll lead him on for a month or so! In my dream world I would drop this AS_ HOLE off in the middle of the desert in Iraq and watch him die! |
