Can't be right. Almost tempted to eMail and find out eh...

**Drum** · 4th March 2006, 00:04

Wanna go halfsies?

So long as we get the bike before handing over the cash! Too good to be true!

**Pathos** · 4th March 2006, 00:05

I'm only on my learners but if I knew that deal was true I would have already paid the 3 grand.

Must have meant $13000...

I don't think you could get the bike before the cash.

perhaps $8000

or the guy knows nothing about motorcycle prices.

Its incredible to think people are selling 250's from the early 90's for 5 grand.

Gentlemen, think twice about emailing people like this again, the reason being is they use unreal bargains like this to harvest email addresses, which will then be sold to spammers, who will now bombard your email with offers of cheap Viagra, and other "legit" medications, or marital aids.

Trust me on this one.

That's why I love having my own domain hosting... i've got a catch-all address with mail rules in Outlook... if I start getting too much spam on one address then it just gets re-routed to the Junk folder, and I use another one.

**Pathos** · 4th March 2006, 10:31

bugger...I got that too.

I hope the trademe profile is closed.

**Pathos** · 4th March 2006, 10:33

yep it is.

haha he probably payed a bit for that. I hope he didn't guess the password or anything :/
