petitepedal ★ Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted January 15, 2015 The guy said he has to make shipping arrangements using western union...he would send me the extra $650 to make these arrangements because he is at sea?????? Just seemed strange.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted January 15, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 15, 2015 Get all of the money up front or walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2015 Get all of the money up front or walk away. Sounds all scammy to me. Western Union? Really? How many guys at sea need expensive bikes? Sorry, Petite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted January 15, 2015 Well...at least I smelled a rat when he mentioned the Western Union/shipping thing. I use to work air freight so having shipping agent...although strange....didn't set off alarms....but the Western Union thing and me setting it up,,,,yeah that didn't sound right.

Pokey Posted January 15, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 15, 2015 At sea and trying to buy the bike from you? Smells fishy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted January 15, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2015 Total scam. The "extra" $650 will be in the form of a check that looks good but is actually fake. By the time your bank finds out, you are out a bike AND some serious money. Just say NO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destination Posted January 15, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm trying to figure out how one would send a bicycle using Western Union. (I think that's a sign I should probably get some sleep.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted January 15, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 15, 2015 Western Union is still around? I would never have guessed that.. I have not seen one in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 15, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 15, 2015 Why don't you just list this bike on eBay and be done with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted January 15, 2015 Share #11 Posted January 15, 2015 Why don't you just list this bike on eBay and be done with it?Yep Have a reserve set for the least you would accept, and be sure to charge enough for shipping and packing.

jsharr ★ Posted January 15, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 15, 2015 It is a scam. Run, do not walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share #14 Posted January 15, 2015 Why don't you just list this bike on eBay and be done with it? Because ebay blows? I dunno, it just seems to blow, does it blow? I think it blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 15, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 15, 2015 Because ebay blows? I dunno, it just seems to blow, does it blow? I think it blows. Maybe. However, it has helped me sell off tons of things from bike parts to valuable coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 15, 2015 Maybe. However, it has helped me sell off tons of things from bike parts to valuable coins. I think if you know what you are talking about, RBR is definitely the way to go. I have sold well more than 100K on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
