NO!! DO
NOT PAY!
I bid on a recumbent trike that was 99 cents Buy-it-Now. The "inflated" shipping was $1,300 from Hong Kong. (red flag!
) I know that the shipping was inflated because I got two Greenspeeds from Australia, including a tandem, and the total shipping was about $800. That still would have been a great deal for a $7,000 trike so I was game up to that point. But when I emailed (through eBay) that they send me a picture with them sitting on the trike, I got no reply (surprise). 2 days later I reported the seller & the tranaction to eBay and the seller got yanked.
And I
really wanted that trike!!
What's that saying?...If it sounds too good to be true...
And don't worry, a better deal on a better bike is going to come your way!
That too, is Karma!
