No, this couldn't be a scam ;-)

This guy is selling Lance Armstrong's one off custom painted Trek Madone on eBay. If you send him the money directly without going through eBay, then the price is only $1650. There's no way this is a scam :rolleyes:

Here's the eBay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260356865025&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123)

BTW, the guy is located in Jakarta, Indonesia and created his eBay account on Jan 30, 2009 and has no feedback.

I also like that he listed it under Track bikes which is the same as Trek!

I also like that he listed it under Track bikes which is the same as Trek!And he talks about a "fedex Treking number." :p

[Steve in SLO]

It gets even better:
If you look at his other items for sale, there is a link to buy the same bike for $1250.

I KNEW the US distributor marked these up some, but wow :p

I just emailed him with "interest".
Let's see how good his customer service is.

[false_Aest]

You think he'll take a money order for $4,000 and send the bike and the change back to me?

[Keith A]

His message is great...

First he says don't send me any questions because I have the complete description in my auction, but if you are serious about buying...send me your PayPal address so I can send you an invoice.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Who's Lance Armstrong?

I think I'll buy it from him for his $1250 price, put it on ebay for $1550, undercut his $1650 price and make $300 for myself. :rolleyes:

Hey Steve -- I think you should up the ante and offer to buy all ten of his bikes and stock, but for half his asking price and see what happens.
