I think that I would be very careful. My guess is that it would ultimately be trouble. Just a guess.

I will be calling you soon, just to talk and see how you are doing.

[keno]

I forgot to mention that I sent him your name and address so that he would no wear to shipp the bike because it had a computer with cadence.

You could ask if Tom Byrnes if he could check the bike out for you, Beverly Hills is only about 2 or 3 miles from his house. Although I'm sure the guys going to tell you the bike is not in Beverly Hills .

Ya, what a sham. He probably uses this same message for all the phoney bikes he sells. I sell quite a bit on ebay, some on rbr and get these all the time. Tell him you fowarded his message to the FBI.

Scam!

I say send him $1200 and see what happens...

[Too Tall]

Where's your sense of irony?

Send him a note and tell him that you need to send him MORE than the asking price so that you can get some much needed cash ASAP to your poor sick Mah in Beverley Hills....so you'll send him 10,000 right away and that he should send the bike and MO for 7,000 right away and that he should keep an extra 500 for himself as you really appreciate his help.

[keno]

Better I should send the $1,200 to you. At least maybe you'll send me empties. Oooops, almost forgot, MA has the deposit thing. Since I moved from Boston to New Jersey I've noticed two significant differences; no deposits on beverage bottles and no self-service gas stations.

BTW, the real deal appears on ebay and I sent the seller a note yesterday. He can handle it any way he wants. For you good samaritans, the ebay item is at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64681&item=3687305790&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW.
