Lets be frank. Call a spade a spade.

The ad might as well have flashing red lights. Stolen! Stolen! Stolen!

Every bone in my body tells me so. But that's just it. My intuition.

 

BUT... 

Until there is proof the bike was stolen. I can't make any accusations.

I can't accuse the seller no matter how suspicious I may think the ad is.

Proof? On the Hub?

 

This sale looks legit to me - he bought the Scott, did not do a proper bike fit and wants to sell it! Nothing wrong

 

Check that hand signal in the first pic - the sign of the Number :eek:

Hmm. Probably STOLEN.

 

Why? Not because the dude is pink or blue.

 

But because- when I sold my bike I placed it in my garden next to a tree in afternoon sunlight so the pic would be good.

 

If you can afford a dual sus Scott Mtb then you can likely do what I did too.

 

By the lift...  :ph34r: .. dodge dodge dodge... you wanna sell the bike with a pic, you don't take a pic by a lift.. if at work you go somewhere nice not by a lift...

 

Also.. he calls it a "bicycle"......an owner of a dual sus MTB would call it a "MTB" or "mountain bike".

 

We are all guessing, and are allowed to. So my guess. Stolen.  :w00t:

Ok - he could not find a buyer in Zim and now look at the SA market

Are you stalking a legitimate seller? :ph34r:  :ph34r: :ph34r:  

 

Wait till Friday - ok :w00t:

this fred won't make friday...it'll be more locked than bakkies and victor's kids

Then arrange a meet 'n greet.

 

I bet it would be a real Thriller. Just remember, not everything is Black and White.

The bike is far below it's market value suggesting that the seller has no idea of it's value and could just be a smooth criminal. 

 

I'm out, this deal is too dodgy. I'd rather stay home and beat it.
