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

Wow! How can people bid $2500 on seller with no feedback rating? I notice
he includes the words "good luck." ;-

Did you get in touch with ebay? They might kill the auction early and
save someone from getting ripped off.

Another dead giveaway (if a brand new seller with no feedback isn't enough of a red flag) it's a private auction. 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?

Have you notified EBay yet? If those pictures are yours, then you
have the single easiest shot at getting him knocked off.

And either way I don't think Lemond will be happy about its dealers selling
via mail order.

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.
