2006 BMW K-1200GT for $1900?

http://catskills.craigslist.org/mcd/3730341907.html

Missing a 1 at the beginning?

OMG - don't tell me that scammers have finally found craigslist!

Went to look and see if it hard "not picture of actual bike" but post was flaged.

I also looked. It was for sale by a Dealer, not a private sale.

I saw similar down my way. A dealer ad for a V-Rod for $1900. No name of dealer or phone number, just an email. Unfortunately, its usually (always?) a scam.

Jessica (the seller) won it in a divorce. Either I'm driving home with a new bike or I'm headed to the ghetto to get rolled.

Keep ya posted.

Seller said: I'm emailing you regarding the 2006 BMW K-Series K1200GT I have for sale. The bike is in great shape, no engine problems, damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged. It has no scratches or any kind of damage. It has 9,580 miles,It has a clear title with no loans or liens on it. I have a low price ($1900 including delivery to your home address) I ask a little for this bike since I just finished the divorce with my husband and I need to get rid of it fast. Please let me know if you have any more questions about the bike and I will answer with pleasure.

Jessica? Sounds cute, let us know.

But if thats a real situation, I would be fuming as the former husband/owner

If this is a scam, how's it work?

Fore warned is fore armed, eh?

Heres your sign. plus maybe the grammar, though it was decent.

If you want, I will accept deliver at my house...on base. Would love to see there faces when they roll up the gate.

She's just a tarted up Nigerian.

Hi again, thank you for getting back to me! I would be glad to call you but I am an oceanographer and I am currently on sea near Spain, I don't have much access to communication and I can't meet with potential buyers to show them the utv. I just have access to the internet and check my email very regularly. I had prearranged the deal with Google Checkout and they will supervise our transaction. The utv is at Google Checkout shipping center in Sunny Scottsdale, AZ. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the utv! After you receive the utv you will have 5 days to inspect it before you sign the papers to purchase the utv. This is not a blind transaction, you can see the utv before committing to buy it. So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you: Full name and address Full shipping address Phone# After I will have all this details I will forward them to Google Checkout and I will proceed the order. They will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal. They will keep your money into a protection account until you get the utv and will release it to me after inspection period is over and you agree to keep it. If you decide not to keep it Google Checkout will refund you the money, and shipping back will be my concern. I will wait your email with the requested details. Sorry for the long email I have tried to explain the entire process. Regards, Jessica

An oceanographer? Why can't they think up at least mildly realistic professions

I got the same email about my unicorn E46 M3 -- white, cloth interior, no sunroof . . . yada yada.

Never figured out the scam.

Next step is they tell you to Western Union more money than the purchase price so they can refund you 20x by secure direct wire transfer the overage from their deposed royalty trust fund. Or something like that.

I got another response this mornong, the first one went to my home Gmail, this one came to me at work.

Same exact response, the difference is the bike is now in Houston, Tx.

This.....

Well, if you want to take delivery, I'll pay. You deal with Jessica, the Russians and your new credit rating; tell me when to pick up the bike.

Sorry, no bikes...I don't ride. (The only time I tried I ended up laying the bike down in a field.)
