His response, "The frame was painted by a frien of mine that is a retired motorcicle painter." The photos look good and decals seems to all be present but I don't think I will bid big $$$ on this one.
The local pick up refusal thing works both ways. If you win and they want to "drop it off at your house" REFUSE TO ACCEPT UNLESS IT IS SHIPPED. If they drop it off, claim you never received it and ask for the shipping papers to prove they shipped it. I've had sellers refuse local pick up or insist on full payment prior to pick up and I've refused to get into something like that unless I really want the bike or part.
