A poker game???

A poker game???

OK a 2005 Yamaha R1 mint, for $1000??? [NO WAY!]
I dunno, I'm gonna play this game til it crash and burn, see what happens.
Read the email, see the pic:
"[FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]Hello,[/FONT][FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]First of all I want to thank you for your interest in my 2005 Yamaha R1. The bike has been extremely well maintained, it is in perfect condition, no damages and no mechanical problems, the engine runs and sounds awesome, has a clear title and 8,020 miles on it. Bike was never raced, wheelied, or dropped and it shows.[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]I'm currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and I'm stationed on a military training facility, _______AFB in ________. The bike will be delivered from here, it is stored in a military compound.[/FONT]

[FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma, sans-serif]I have dropped my price to $1,000 (purchase price) including delivery and handling to your address, it will be delivered free of charge through a military transportation service to a designated location of your choice, average delivery time is 2-3 business days. All documents you need for ownership, bill of sale will be provided along with the bike. It has been reduced because I need to find a buyer before my upcoming deployment take place and I don't want to waste more time negotiating.[/FONT]"

Obvious scam is obvious.

I just flag those when I see 'em.

Yes. Cookie-cutter scam that I cannot believe people even fall for these days. Everyone should flag those.

Seems like if they were asking close to the market price, it would be more profitable for them.
When I wrote my 1st email, I dropped all punctuation and dumbed down my writing, I think that's why they answered.
No word from them now.
If somebody posted a mint R1 on a military base for $1000, there'd be a riot ouside the house.

Well, for the $1000 Yamaha R1 they asked for a Amazon gift card as payment.
I replied I don't see how my purchase would be protected by that payment method, and suggested using ebay for the buyer/seller protections.
No answer.

This makes me weep.

Almost complete needs a little more fab work and wiring has a title and will run once wired..
show contact info
..or trade...$500 wmmp ommp trAde guns, air compressor

 

[earlfor]

Another example of something carved up so badly, it's now worth nothing. At least it was a KZ440.

 

[Gorminrider]

yah, you're right- another freakshow..Nothing to like here except maybe the dog ....

 

[Rob S.]

yah, you're right- another freakshow..

And they're all, "almost complete. Just needs..."

 

[Gregory]

This goes in the builders category of "how uncomfortable can we make this bike"...and evidently each time they asked themselves that question, they didn't give up till successful.

 

[Gorminrider]

And they're all, "almost complete. Just needs..."

... someone crazier than themselves with extra guns or air compressors to trade. Yikes. I get they can shoot themselves with the gun but What will they do with an air compressor?
