Will bang through an e-mail and see what happens now.
Obviously this is a scam of sorts, but I've got nothing better to do so I may as well amuse myself. :D

Got a bite!

email recieved:

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my bike. I sell at this price(AU$5300) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this bike. Now as a women i don't need. This bike is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty. From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000. The final price that I want for this bike is AU$5300 including shipping and handling.
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon

And my reply

I would like to view the bike and if possible test ride it. I want to be sure that it is as described. Where is the bike located? When would be a suitable time to meet and view the bike?
I have cash ready for payment and I am keen to purchase. If you could please respond as soon as possible.
Thank You
Andrew


Is there really one in a million that falls for this that makes it worth the time and effort of putting a scam like this together?

No doubt!!! Look how many have fallen for the Ivory Coast, Nigeria <insert any other dodgy country here> email adviisng that I want to leave the country with umpteen million and you can have half of it just gimme your bank details... PLENTY have fallen for it and that's as obvious as all fuck it's super dodgy.
