Most likely this is a scam. Be very careful but this ruse has been used

many times in the past and as a matter of fact I think Mark Ginsberg

cautioned soemone else on this list about the very same risks.



Bottom line.....if it seems too good to be true, it is.

 Has anyone out there ever sold a bike to someone overseas?? I have my bike posted on a couple of websites like www.mtbreview.com www.pinkbike.com and www.nsmb.com ,anyway the responses I have gotten are all from other countries. One from Germany, one from South Africa and the most serious one from France. This guy is a used bike and accessory dealer. The problem is that although I am asking $1300 for the bike (Rocky Mountain Element TO) the guy wants to send a cashier's check for $7,000 and wants me to do a western union thing to the shipper for the remaining monies. To me this doesn't sound legal?? Weird to say the least and how and what hoops must one go through to send a bike to France.? You can reply to my e mail if you have any incite on this issue. bon-@egilson.com
