This is second time this has happened when I am selling a bike on Craigslist, and I decline both times.

I get an email asking about the bike. I reply that is just like I state in the ad. Then a couple days later I get another email stating that they want the bike. Then finally they send an email telling me they are out of town but will send me a money order for payment. Now, I know I am not cutting loose any bike without the cash..Also, I am not shipping any bike. I am trying to see how they are working this.

They tell me that somebody will come and pick the bike up. Okay, if I did agree, I would not give the bike up unless the money order has cleared. However, my old sub-culture smells a rat in these offers.. This second one really tries to hook me. Tells me in the email that they will not only pay my asking price, but will give me 50 dollars more to hold the bike for them untill they come off assignment(never tells me what kind of assignment).. I promptly told this last prospective buyer, NO THANKS.

Here is latest I got from this person..

-----------------------------------

Thanks for your mail,i will have it picked up as soon as you received the payment..the payment will arrived to you within 3-5working days..i will like you to send me your full name and address where the money order can be mailed to.

The information they are asking for, name and address is the same information I would have to give to anybody that wants to buy the bike. Trying to see how they are working a scam.. Or is this LEGIT, and I am one out to lunch??
