Anyone want to bid on this?

Wow. What a deal! Read his description and look at his feedback. Anyone who would bid on this is out of their mind.

He shoould have just said...

Not sure how old this bike is or how big it is but here it is.

No kidding! Well, maybe they aren't the same. One has "cup holders."

I always use a picture of the actual item I am selling myself, helps to show what it really is.

and i dont bid unless they supply me with a picture of the actual item. Its always fun getting a package from an ebay auction and finding a surprise you didnt really expect because it was not explained. Unless its a small value item

Also note the guy already has 1 neg feedback. The stuff he bought would seem to jive with his story, but I wouldn't buy it unless I had some pictures.

General feeling of bad coming from this auction however.

Personally I like how it says that "I have had this bike since..." and "I replaced the shifter with aftermarket..." and "I really have no use for it anymore". Going by this it sounds like it is his bike then it says "please do not use the e-bay e-mail for this bike im selling this for a friend!"

Something sounds a little fishy to me.

Its a scam using a hijacked account-he doesnt want you to use ebay e-mail because then the the real account holder would find out what was happening
