i would say scam."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Yeah... I think so to, but hate it. I've seen another sale for a Spec Enduro in the same format and it all looks just a bit suspect. Thanks 'Louse. I think I'll leave it as I'm watching a nice 'dale atm.0

Yeah I didn't look at the date of the feedback. I haven't heard of hacked accounts before, but the long gap with no sale could be a worry. cheers0

Something isn't right with it. I cant quite put my finger on it but its just not right.I didnt do it! I found it broken, honest!0

The price...
And why wouldn't you use the Ebay mailing service and demand a personal email or no sale?0 -
also the fact that the info with the Mail addy is not text so it does not appear in searches..."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Definite scam mate!If it's not a Yeti, it's not worth riding!0

ok, not sold to the man in the blue jeans then. It's the same advice i'd give out... but when it's your money it's hard to be un-biased...
Thanks for your input guys0 -
...and the item has been withdrawn from sale :roll:
Glad you didnt take the risk!0 -
Yep item taken off
Good luck with your move and good luck for your advice 8)0 -
I plumped for a 'Dale Prophet!
Let you see the steed soon.
Cheers for the responses guys - they we're all correct! Now how many threads can we find where we can say that?0
