The Hooligan

i randomly go on ebay and i see my bike. i click the ad and this guy is using like 8 pics of my bike. i think its sorta funny that someone would use my bike, but the other part of me thinks its wrong. whoever buys the bike thinks there getting what i have on there. plus the guy never says in the ad that these arent the real pics! i emailed this jackass but i realize theres only 3 hours left on the ad, so oh well...

Maybe he is gonna try and scam the winner? Auction ends in 3 hours.....

LAS2K

uh ya...seriously 13 bids too...someone is gonna get scammed out of 5+ grand.

LAS2K

I'm thinking of creating a new account and bidding this way up and never paying. You're 10000% sure its yours?

The Hooligan

yea there all my pics but i wouldnt bid on it, who knows what can happen on ebay.

touge

What is with the website link in the last image? repotemple.com

Maybe it is a legit business and he is just using those images?

marmaladedad

Uhh, have you checked your garage lately?

LAS2K

Your pics, then its yours. You can't represent what you're selling with false images. Thats against ebay rules. Furthermore, he has a brand new account. Look at his wording, he doesn't sound normal..its got a bit of a pushy tone. Sounds like a Somalian scammer.

Who thinks we should turn this over to GDD?

The Hooligan

i went on the website and thats how i got his email add. looks like he runs a reputable repo business, but i dont like the fact hes using my pics. whoever gets this bike thinks there getting my parts.

getting ready to fire it up for a ride

LAS2K

No way is his repo business even legit. Check this out:

The whole thing looks like a scam, what happens if you win the auction and don't pay? Can anything be done? just negative feedback?

LAS2K

no, seller can't provide negative against buyer anymore. Who thinks we should lead this guy on? Give him a little hell for a while, run in circles etc etc etc?

touge

It must be a scam, the guy asks for half the money up front then you pay the other half when he delivers the bike, so someone could lose a lot of money...

I say lead him on

stupidwhitecat

I am sooooooooo tempted to bid on this. I created a bogus account awhile back when I listed an item and seller didn't pay. Then I returned the favor

LAS2K

Back off I call dibs Plus I've always wanted a 600rr!!

stupidwhitecat

Let the bidding war begin then. My ID is gsxrcycleboi

LAS2K

word. my ID is diafscammer

The Hooligan

let the bidding begin

kudakev615

and hes got no vin# listed to verify anything. def a scam. ebay ftl

stupidwhitecat

And if you look at the bid history every ID starts with a number or letter then three *** and number or letter. And most have 0 feedback.

Mr.Chow

report it to ebay immediately! this is a scam. I see these ALL the time. scam scam scam....scam. Seriously. How could you not pick up on that?

stupidwhitecat

I have already reported to ebay, however they even admit that their turn around time for investigation is usually 72 hours which does nothing if the auction ends in 2 hours and someone actually bids on it.

The Hooligan

its up to 15gs, haaah, this guy is probally getting all excited.

The Hooligan
