I emailed the seller early on to point out the repaint (he had not "noticed" the partially obscured decal) various odd parts etc. The buyer noticed little before hitting the buy it now button and said he would reEbay the bike if he didnt like it(wish I could blow $2500 in such a cavalier manner) Seller was quick to respond to my email but did not change the discription or post my information. Buyer fell victim of "buy it now fever " without really looking closely at what he was buying. I think we have all fallen victim of this type of seller in the past but hopefully in not such a spectacular fashion. I suspect that if buyer or seller are list members we will not hear from them either.
