Thank You
My reply
If you give me a phone number we can talk later.
Where are you located?
Thank you so much for getting back to me, I am quite comfortable with the condition of the item I wouldn't mind adding an extra $50 to your asking price to keep this for me, getting it for my cousin for her upcoming birthday, i will be making the payment by bank Certified check to cover the cost, then after it clears in your Bank, which shouldn't take more than a day or two according to my bank, I will have my movers come over for the pick up, If you are OK with this, Do reply back with your full name address cell # and your last asking price, in which the check will be sent to you asap, and I would like you to take the posting off...
Thank You
My reply
Sorry, but cash only or USPS Postal Money Orders.
I don't take any checks, bank or personal.
please give me your phone number so we can talk. Where are you located?
#1 He's asking for the price when it's in the ad.
#2 He refers to the bike as "item"
#3 He's buying it for his female cousin, the bike's a 56cm so she better be 5'11" to 6' tall.
Smells like a scam.
