Hi all,

This week I found one of my dream bikes on Craiglist Aberdeen :cool: . I fell in love and sent the seller a mail if he was willing to ship the bike to Holland, this was not a problem...

http://aberdeen.craigslist.co.uk/bid/4370260194.html

I was insecure to pay a lot of money for a bike that I haven't seen, so I checked the Bike/parts Collection Assistance Thread and found YOWSAH (Hutton) who is living in Aberdeen. He was willing to visit the seller Roy Barber at 34 Market Street. They mailed and made an appointment....

No one was there, Hutton and myself had a bad feeling with the seller so a moment ago I started searching the Internet. :shock:

I found the same bike on RB and the mtbr Forum!!

So please watch out, this seller is not trustworthy!! :evil:

Very disappointing that the sale didn't work out, but like Hutton mentioned: Sherlock Holmes would be proud of us!

Is there a section where information can be posted about fallible sellers??

Regards,
Hugo
 
Re:

The other clue is that if it's claiming to be Aberdeen in Scotland....we don't have craigslist in the uk

Now Aberdeen south Dakota uses craigslist as craigslist is like the Yankee gumtree

Thanks for sharing chap

And that is something that I don't know...

The garage and a couple of other things gave me doubt, hope no-one get's in trouble.

The point here is Hugo that the address the seller gave you is for Aberdeen, Scotland. He included the postcode which is for Aberdeen, Scotland. He also didn't reply to my emails as to why he wasn't at home when I went to the address. He still hasn't replied to the emails.

Actually there is a craigslist for the UK (including Aberdeen) not widely used though.

Well, the seller sent me his IBAN SWIFT and his full address, he thought that I needed all these data to transfer the money... This is obvious not the case.

Re:

Having a browse about the Glasgow site (bike fs) I'd guess the lot were scams. I have never in a million years seen a collection of bikes like that anywhere near Glasgow.
