When the seller says to contact him at a specified email address instead of just using the contact seller button, I stay away.

Most of those same bikes were also listed friday morning using a different account. Same MO: 1 day listing, absurd 3 dollar shipping, dozens of high-end bikes for ridiculous prices.
I suspect they want folks to email so they can pitch a scam. The auctions are noting but bait and the bidding is not detrimental to the scam.
I reported them friday and today...
