Don't do that! You turn up with cash and they belt you on the bonce!
Of course it's a scam if the price is less than a dealer would give them for it!
Don't fall for the oversized cheque if they are buying either. Oldest one in the book!

Generally, the ad says payment of a deposit within so many days, by western union. That is the last you'll see of your money and you have zero comeback.

I wasn't thinking of it,was just wondering if anyone had ever tried and ended up getting a stonking deal.Maybe turning up with someone bigger than the person there to skelp you! :-)

I sold a minter classic RD250F on Ebay. About 20 people were after it and i was sad to see it go.
