Default very fake.. I tried looking at in San Fran back in February

Wrote back that the car was actually in Hawaii. If I just put the funds into an ebay escrow account, he will ship me the car. If I don't like it I can send it back.

It seemed too good to be true then at 50k. But I was in the area so I thought I'd pursue it.

Default sting operation!

if it is fake, i'm sure the guy is breaking several local and federal laws....or could be easily set up to do so. call your local FBI field agent!

Default I tried it once for a Honda CBR600 a few yrs ago on ebay.

Just decided to see how the scam was played out. Turns out the motorcycle was "in Spain" not in Chicago as was listed. I tried to get the scammer to trip up on the lies and finally gave up.
