Rang phone no.s provided - SA number engaged, Tas no rang out, Sydney no incorrect......hmmmmm
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.

With the members we have we could do a group buy @ $3 each & share the sucker
& if the deal is sour we can all go round their place

Nah, see rob, as soon as S&W got it, he would crash it and write it off, and we wouldn't be able to ride it.

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?

PLENTY have fallen for it and that's as obvious as all fuck it's super dodgy.
