BEWARE Another Bike related ebay scam
Just want to let everyone know that there is a 57cm Ti Lemond for sale on
ebay. This is a bike that I sold last week. The current seller posted a very similar auction listing. He also used all the pictures that I took of the bike. In his listing he stated that the bike is being sold through Freewheel Cycle...the shop I work at. Beware of people like this, especially this time of year. I figured I would bring it to everyones attention because there are 15bids on it already. The auction # is 3645460915 I hope this helps, Chad |

There are eBay users out there who have logins like 'bewareitsascam' and bid a ridiculous bid on the auction to further warn away potential bidders. Making it private foils these guys from making it know it's a scam. There are items where a private auction is probably a good idea, but I see no reason why a bike auction need to be one. Did you ask the seller any questions? Did you get a response? |

Wow! How can people bid $2500 on seller with no feedback rating? I notice
he includes the words "good luck." ;- Try $10,000+. And he only accepts payments in the form of a bank transfer. I wonder what he would do if someone in NY won and wanted to pay in-person. Dave |
