I asked the seller with 0 feedback if I could "pick up in person assuming I'm the high bidder", and he says the bike's in London, and he'll pay the shipping.... ;-) (even though the current eBay ad says item is located in Lousiana) I wrote him asking how the bike got shipped from California to London in less than 10 days, when it was supposed to get shipped to Japan... I also sent him the item # from the previous auction for it ending 10 days ago... (#2269372997). I'm pretty sure I won't get a reply.... No question in my mind that it's a scam, and I did report it to eBay.
