Here`s a good one. Didn`t any of you see a Classified Ad appear on E Bay on Sunday ?
It was a ¬72 H2 offered at £3k. by somebody called matthewpriest29. Nil feedback. Claimed the bike was imported from Holland in 1990. ( I wish I`d noted the reg number now ) No location or contact details except an e-mail address. Suspicious , Yeah !!!
Ah well, nothing ventured. So I e mailed him. When I check 2 hrs later. about 4pm . no response but the Classified ad had dissappeared. Bugger, I though Malc A has nipped in there ( ! )
No. I got an e-mail at approx Midnight " Bike is still for sale if you are interested ? ".
Sure, I reply, give me a contact number and tell me where you are, and I`ll get down asap. "pm on Monday his reply " I am in Scotland , nd unable to phone. I will sell it for £3k for a quick sale , you pay thru` E Bay, and I`ll deliver at my cost. "
Hmmmm, strange. I`m sure they have installed phones in Scotland , even before I moved abroad. ( London ! )
I replied " I will collect and pay cash. Being Scottish, tell me where you are , and I`ll give you directions to a phone....." " Matthew then replied " I will only sell through E BAy. You pay E Bay the money. I will send you the bike, and E Bay will only pay me when you are happy with the Bike"

Yeah right. And your real name Matthew, is Mr Umbongobongo from Nigeria..........probably.

Anyway, thought you all may want to know about that.

See you at Stoneleigh !!!

Oh yeah. There you go. You`ve been talking about it under the For Sale section.

You were right to be suspicious Neil.. a classic case of "if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly will be"
