Oh! When I started to get suspicious, I emailed asking what size bike the auction was for. Here's their reply. I particularly love their explanation of why they don't take PayPal or credit cards
Here's the letter from them:
Hello,
We are overstock in 2004 bike models and because the 2005 models
appeard, we took the decision to sell these bikes more cheaper. There is
stock limit.
The bike is in perfect condition, new, no problems or scratches on
it.It will come in original box with all the papers, manuals and
manufacture warranty documents. We have all sizes available.
The buy it now price for the bike is US$2,300.00. In this price the
shipment costs are included too. You don't have to bid on the auction.
We will end the auction early after payment is received and in maximum
24 hours shipment will start and we will give you the tracking number of
shipment.
We will ship the bike using FedEx and in 5 work days the bike will be
at your door.We will support shipment insurance. The bike will be packed
professionally at our store.We will ship the bike with the option AS A
GIFT and you will not pay any extra taxes.
After some complaints regarding Paypal (please visit
www.paypalsucks.com) we will not accept this method anymore.
We had many problems in past with stolen identity using credit card
payment and we took the decision not to use direct credit card payment.
We have 2 ways for payment: one via bank wire and is available for US
and international customers and the other one is via cash transfer. Bank
wire can take few days the money to be confirmed in our bank account and
that's why he have the seccond payment option which is easy and fast. It
will take only few minutes the payment to be confirmed to us after you
will send.
Please email us what is your prefer payment method and we will give you
instructions.
After payment is confirmed in our bank account, it will take maximum 24
hours your order to be processed and shipment to be started. We also
will give you the tracking number for shipment to track your bike.
We will give you 3 days of inspection of the bike. In case that you will
not be satisfied with it, you will return the bike back to us and we
