[cammo]

i found this on trade me, a '04 gsxr 1000,with 4000ks and $4500 worth of crome detailing done to the bke, and he only wants 8 grand!!!! someone is gona get the buy of their life!!!

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-24518140.htm

i think im in :love:

[madboy]

surely he's forgotten the "1" in front of the price!!! Feel tempted to buy it just to onsell it

[MOTOXXX]

seems to good to be true........there would have to be some kind of condition like selling your soul to the devil for that price

[StoneChucker]

This reaks of scam/fraud....

If the chrome cost $4500, is he willing to let the bike go for $3500? He would be loosing too much on it, even if he was desperate.

Really, don't be fooled people, imho.

[ktulu]

I just told him I'll be around to pick it up this afternoon, no worries at all at that price

[StoneChucker]

I hope it's legit if you are. If you have the cash, why not check it out. Desperate people are the best people to buy from :D

I hope his name isn't Mr. Nigel Obujoba, the assistant secretary to the high prince of the Nigerian Government (who if you didn't know, have recently started a search to try get the $32,000,000 USD, thats thirty two million us dollars, out of locked accounts. You can have 25% btw) (pt)

[gav]

Could be legit, seen his other listings?

Dude doesnt look to be short on money, prob seen them advertised on ebay, wonder where he mounts his number plate, interesting rear indicators, just mounted some to my bike but certainly not there!

[ktulu]

Hi,

Yes i can sell my bike at 8000nz dollars.

Please try to get back to me so we can make a deal right now, ok?

thank you

2004 Suzuki : GSX-R : GSX-R (Classified no. 24518140)






Thats email I just got back from them. If some one is in nelson they should actually check it out, if it was in auckland I would be around there with the cash right now checking to see whether they had ownership papers and whether everything was ligit

[PSYCHO]

ktulu, have you got a ph number for this guy? PM me I'll go round. Im in Nelson.

[Sniper]

I want it!!!

[PSYCHO]

I would say it's b/s. I haven't seen the bike or heard of it here in Nelson. It hasn't been advertised locally either.

There has occasionally been scams on trademe with some nice bikes been advertised for crazy low $$.

[cammo]

ring em, go see the bike, and if ligit then you have the nicest bike that $8000 can buy. i rekon its ligit, but ull have to wait and see i guess.

even if it is dodgy im still in :love:

[PSYCHO]

Here you go, just as I thought...

After 3 emails I finally got some info out of the bitch...

Yes i have it, but i can not talk with you at the phone because i don`t speak in english very well..i`m original from germany but right now my location it`s in USA, California and this is my location and the suzuki it`s with me.
I want to let you know that i will transport the suzuki to your address fron new zealand by DHL.
Please let me know if you are ready to buy it from me??


Yeah right!! :whistle:

[ktulu]

Speaks for itself, sounds like a sham

[gav]

So long as he doesnt want the money before you get the bike, no problems!
But yeah, sounds like a scam now....

[cammo]

i guess some things are just to good to be true!!! sucks dont it!!!

[gav]

yip, if hes in Cali why would he advertise the bike in NZ? cool bike though....

If you were bored and wanted to string him along you could email him back, telling him your studying German, and would love the opportunity to engage in conversation with a native speaker..

Here's more...

yes but i will pay all the shipping and handle just please tell me if you can transfer the money by bank account transfer and i will sell it immediatly to you, ok?

[ktulu]

Haha, oh yeah, go for it psycho, I bet it will arrive..... pfffftt

[PSYCHO]

and...

what you mean by like a scam?

[ktulu]

I wasn't taking the piss out of you, just doing a bad attempt of taking the piss out of the persons credibility sorry. Fuck this writing stuff down makes it hard to be anything but serious.

[PSYCHO]

I know you weren't PTing me Ktulu.

This is such a scam it's not funny. I've seen this shit before. All the bikes are located overseas bla bla

I've kept emailing them/him/her, but they won't return my emails now! :killingme

They know that I'm "on to them" :niceone:

[ktulu]

hmmm... yep no worries psycho...

Funny how my mom always said... "if its too good to true it normally is"

Fairly reasonable comment

[StoneChucker]

I got jealous that you were going to get a good deal Ktulu, so I mailed him and got him to drop the price to $7000, and I deposited the money... He said the bike would be shipped immediately, so I trust him.

bwahahahahahaha :msn-wink: I am utterly amazed at how these people operate. HOW stupid do they think we are? The sad thing is, some people are caught out by this, as not everyone has as much internet savvy as the rest of us. It really is sad, but, life sucks...

People on the net with lots of free time have actually got these scammers to send them money. Classic! (mostly the nigerian scams).

[riffer]

More of a concern to me Dave is how this guy managed to get hold of a trademe account - is it a stolen account or a hacked trademe server?

Trademe have sent people emails of late reminding them of the need to change passwords for accounts regularly. The trouble is so many people don't have any idea of computer security, so unscrupulous people can take over a legitimate user's account and sell stuff.

I just hope its a user's bad security, rather than someone exploiting one of Microsoft's myriad IIS insecurities to obtain access.

Thank you for bringing this auction to our attention and making Trade Me a
better place to buy and sell.


Happy trading,

got that about 15 minutes after reporting it and it was off trademe soon after! so if people report it they are generally pretty good at removing scams

You'll find that will been $8k NZ so Near $16K USA dollars I would think .
Don't think I would do that to my K3 . Live out in the Country grave road to house & up drive so would look like shit in no town .

Listing withdrawn - so it would seem that you are right.

[avgas]

Email him back saying that you are doing payments of $200+ a fortnight currently and wish for the bike to be sent to your address.
These payments will be under the suffix 'weekly wage' - and he his to send the bike promptly to your address. :lol:

Shit, I knew our exchange rate was getting better, but now find that $1NZD is worth $2USD, so that means stuff on ebay is like half price, woohoo, thanks for that info Sensei, you da man !!




errr, think you've cocked that up, dude, use to be other way round, so $8KUSD was about $16NZD, but its alot closer now

8,000.00 USD 11,297.70 NZD
United States Dollars = New Zealand Dollars

1 USD = 1.41221 NZD 1 NZD = 0.708109 USD
