Somehow I suspect this prospective buyer may not be totally
trustworthy,
all the information he requests is in the ad on the GWRRA website.
SKooter

Hello Seller
My name is Ben Bruce a resident of 45 Charles Street East,

Suite 704 Toronto ON M4Y 1S2 in Canada I came across

your advert and am highly interested in Purchasing your

Goldwing which you offer for sale. and first of all i will

like to ask u some questions about the item firstly..

(1) Are u the first owner of the item?
(2) How old is it?
(3) What is the asking price of it ?
(4)Do u have the pictures of the item?
(5)Why do u wanna sell it?

and i will also like to know if u will accept certified check for

the payment and i will also like to tell u that i have my shipping

company who takes good care of my goods so don`t bother

yourself about the shipping arrangement so if u are alright

with all this kindly get back to me asap.

Regards
Ben

Total scam. He wants to give you a bogus check.

That's exactly what I thought when I noticed that all
the info the asked for was in the ad for the bike.
I would have to handle that check with asbestos gloves
and his shipper would be here before the check was
caught as counterfeit.
I'll wait on someone local to come along with cash. Or
just ride it once a week to keep if from going "stale".

Just tell him you'll commit the bike shipment once
the certified check has been converted to USD
cash, in your account.

Or, he can purchase a certified check from your
bank, via a phone call from his CDN address.

That should raise his interest. <g>

Yes, I understood that all-too-common angle.

And I suppose that's probably where it's going.

But, I chose to adhere to the simple purchase
transaction because I've never really understood
how anyone that walks upright could be taken
into such a ruse.

Personally, I think it would be interesting to
"play along", just to see how this unfolds.
