$2,400 seems crazy cheap.

Being near Milwaukee I may look into it just to see if it's real.

I agree. The guy even went to the trouble of putting extra pics on photobucket so it's a very good scam if it's not ligit

It's a scam. It was removed from E-Bay and it is for sale on a site in Barcelona and several other locations as well. A quick Google search for a Guru TS4 will show that a green and black 53 cm is very popular around the world.

I did e-mail the yahoo so it will be interesting to see what response I get.

It has already been flagged by Craigslist and I cannot even see the ad.

Here is the response I got from the guy:

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Hi,
Thank you for your email. I still have it for sale. Right now i am gone in my honeymoon in Hawaii but i hope that`s not going to be a problem because i can still handle the transaction. When i left in my honeymoon, i left the item along with several other items in the custody of The Online Outpost because i wanted to sell them on eBay when i return, but something came up back home, something wrong with my mom and i decided to sell this one before i get back but not on ebay because i need to sell it faster. So if you are still interested let me know because i can make the transaction immediately. Just let me know and i will explain
all the details of the transaction...
Thanks!

Here is the bike on the Barcelona site. Exact same description but different e-mail contacts. Imagine that. Perhaps this is just a really popular build.

I am going to play along and see what his game is.

Perhaps someone should inquire on the bike through the Barcelona site and see if he went to Hawaii "in" his honeymoon.

Yeah it has been taken down but I swear there is another post with EXACT wording in the response you got back.

I've seen this response in a bunch of postings about scams. Seems a lot of people that are selling bikes are taking honeymoons in Hawaii. Stupid scammers. :mad2:

Scam for sure

Here is the response I got from the guy:

Hi,
Thank you for your email. I still have it for sale. Right now i am gone in my honeymoon in Hawaii but i hope that`s not going to be a problem because i can still handle the transaction.

The "I am on vacation/traveling for business but we can still do the deal" line is a dead giveaway that this is a scam. It's a common trick.
