I bought a Molteni Merckx recently on ebay. Someone wrote to me today from Holland to see if I had actually gotten it (I did). They had gotten a spoof second chance offer for it, sent off $750 (I paid nearly twice that) and of course never heard back again. Beware those second chance offers unless made through ebay.
The bike was far less nice than advertised by the way. *&%$#@ lying NY crook. No way to protect yourself from a liar I guess.
