For all the possibilities to be scammed out there it is still a good thing I believe to openly discuss them here. I understand how outing a bike can cause distress to someone who has been laying low, waiting to pounce. Still I would rather have people out a bike an watch its true value develope then be the person who pounced only to find that I have been scammed. There are deals out there but the old saying is probably near 98% accurate. If a deal looks to good to be true....
I have been lucky so far not to get caught but that is no guarantee or skill that I have learned that keeps me protected. I have taken chances that I freted until the product arrived. I have also bought bikes on description and photos that after delivery were real dissappointments. This list is the best protection agains fraud that I know. Not only do you all possess a combined knowledge that will help a relative newcommer but you all have a good sense of a scam when you see one. Far as I am concerned keep the posts and outings coming.
