http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27948&item=7108287793&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

I am selling my bike (on mtbr) but I never authorized nor told anybody to sell it on ebay. I just typed it into the ebay search and MY BIKE CAME UP!

Has this happened to anyone else? I am sort of curious to see how much it goes for!

[Guess?Who]

It seems to be always from the U.K. We should ask him questions and have him take pics of the other side of the bike. Ha,Ha.

[zedro]

hope he doesnt have the keys to your house as well

[Bicyclist]

He copied and pasted summers ad.

[the law]

-J

[neversummersnow]

I emailed him too

[Incubus]

I remember the same thing happened to powderboy's RFX. Only he wasn't selling.

Maybe the e-bay seller is hoping to get more than you're asking on mtbr and is going to keep the delta. :confused:

[DHracer1067]

oh yeah. im gona win this for about 144,336 bucks.

[Motionboy2]

I emailed him too

You should email ebay

[vitox]

oh yeah. im gona win this for about 144,336 bucks.


oh no you wont, ill snipe you so fast you wont be able to counter attack and get if for 150k

[DHracer1067]

oh yeah. well i just bid a million GBP

Your maximum bid: GBP 1,000,000.00 (Approximately US $1,804,200.00)

[vitox]

damn you now its getting a bit hard to justify the going price...

[heikkihall]

Jeff if only you could get the price its currently selling for . Damn you could buy a new house after selling your used bike. Who knew?

[Demolition Nine]

What is this all about..

Current bid: GBP 69,100.00 (Approximately US $124,670.22) ??

[oly]

Sad thing is that e-mailing e-bay will de list this one, but it wont matter as they will be back under a new account name in no time at all doing the same thing. Good thing you guys noticed this one at least so you messed up this listing. No doubt though some people go all the way and get screwed....

[Curb Hucker]

somebody beat my max bid at 2,000,000lb

[DHracer1067]

screw you. this is MY bike. just bid 5,000,000. now beat that.

[freeriding101]

the current bid is 10,000,000 bucks, i think it could go higher...

[zedro]

you guys are creating needless inflation!!! now my paychecks worth nothing!!!! :mumble:

[Duzitall]

What if by some quirk of fate this poor ebay dude really does have exactly that same bike for sale (with the same background in his picture)? Stranger things have happened you know.....in movies.

Boy will you guys feel silly :D

[Helius]

That guy would be stoked. He would be like wtf???????? but would be stoked.

[Brian HCM#1]

Now someone need to email him saying they want to use Western Union.

[neversummersnow]

Actually, I'm cahootz with the guy, now you guys owe me BIG!

[bibs]

how messed up would it be, if Ebay got who ever bid last and made them pay up and then the guy won...not that it woul dever happen..but I never knew a connondale is worth so much!!

Hey and this might be my ignorance but,...since I just sold my bike..one person emailed me and asked if I could his paypall account(in brazil) and send it to his Uncle in Miami. What kinda of scam do they do? Im new , i sold it to a guy in cali..but was curious abou tthis kinda stuff...

I guess Im a newb....

Busted.

Please don't hate me, though. My father is a very wealthy king in our country. He was recently thrown into prison by rebels and we desperately need money to break him out again. Please donate to this cause and I promise that you will be repaid tenfold once he regains his throne...

[IronhorseCT]

The Turner that I bought last year is still up On ebay ....SCAMS....This is why we need to protect the right to bear arms....

[MikeD]

I wonder if the fake Ebay posters ever fall victim to the Nigerian scammers...

[greenreese]

It is back down to $900.

[DLo]

Yeah but.. The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

[JRB]

[Christiaan]

Same thing happened to me 2, my Tazer FS , that was on a website somewhere, suddenly was on ebay, I contacted Ebay, and the took the ad down, fraud!

[Lumpy_Gravy]

Now someone need to email him saying they want to use Western Union.

:) :) :) :) :)

[mtnbikej]

[HRDTLBRO]

Strangely enough, the house in auction 1 looks a bit different from the house in auction 2. :think: :D

[azonicbruce]

And, he states at the end,

"Please before place your bid contact me at adrian_newman1@email.nu "

Hmmm :think: wonder why he wants them to do that?

[fonseca]

I emailed him with an offer on the RM ETSX-50.

Dearest idiotilor2004,

I will be willing to buy your 2004 Rocky Mountain ETSX-50 at the said amount of 1700GBP. As regards payment, this is what i am going to do, I have a client in the Europe who is owing me 3500GBP, I will instruct him to make out a cheque to you. Although the value of the cheque is more than the price of the 2004 Rocky Mountain ETSX-50 I think, I should be able to trust you with my balance. The reason why i am doing this is that it would take a check sent from over here in the U.S. 30days to clear over there,whereas a check sent from within Europe would clear tops within 48hrs. So I will expect that you send my balance to my shipping agent through Western Union Money Transfer immediately you receive payment for the 2004 Rocky Mountain ETSX-50. The shipper will then come to your location pick up after you must have sent the money to them. So if my terms are acceptable to you, I would like you to give me your full name, address and phone numbers so that I can instruct my client to make out the check to you. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that I can know my stand in regards to the 2004 Rocky Mountain ETSX-50 purchase.

God bless you and your family. Have a great day.

[Gramatica]

Your far too late, my bid of $10,000,000GBP will stand....I dare you to out bid me.....

[grimm]

i hope i'll never see my bikes on ebay :(
