Seems like the scam sales and auctions are becoming more commonplace on both Craigslist and eBay once again (at least I thought they weren't as commonplace as they once were).

Ray Dobbins Colnago Mexicois currently being featured for sale on Craigslist for $500.00:

A Rene Herse keeps popping up on eBay with direct BIN option offered in the description.

Also discovered a 1962 Paramount track bike on Craigslist that was lifted off a legitimate eBay seller, and offered for sale via a Florida female seller for $800.00.  She claimed she was deaf, thus could not talk about the bike over the phone, and was away from the bike and couldn't meet with anyone to personally inspect the bike's condition.

If it's to good to be true, then it probably isn't.

Sad world we live in due to these crooks.  Hopefully honest folks will not fall prey to them!
