yeh.. this has been going on a while now. Just for laughs i contacted the person as if i was definitely interested [fake name and one-off email address of course] Her sob story was that she had this beautiful R1 as part of a divorce settlement with her ex who took off overseas. She was to sell it and keep the money and then let him know how much she sold it for. Of course, just to screw him over she was willing to sell it dirt cheap! After a couple of emails with questions about it, still trying to see where it went I got a reply that was "Look, do you want the effing bike or not!" But I guess there are suckers that will do it, or they wouldnt keep trying.....
AutoTrader, out of all places, is full of car ads just like that! Oh, I am selling this car for 3-5 grand less because I got divorced, moved to South Carolina, car is here, blah blah blah...
