Yes, stuff like this is a full on scam. Anytime someone says any variation of no cash and mail the item. All they are doing is sending you a fraudulent payment that your bank can not trace. But you bank will still make you liable for the funds and you are out of your property.
I see this a lot on CL. Not to mention if you look up the guys name on OBRA people, he does not exist. The only time this might be cool is if you know the person or at least know of the person. I've done paypal and mailed parts to guys in bend and eugene. But we can tell in our emails that we are legit OBRA racers.
So if anything sounds fishy...then assume that it is and move on to the next buyer.
Oh yea, if I sell on CL, I meet the person somewhere else. It's only selling to legit OBRA members that I say to meet me at my house.
It's a screwed up world.

I got an email from the same guy about a bike I have for sale. He's definitely a scambag.

I'm just curious as to why you can't get cash? you have to go to the bank to get a money order and someone has to pick up the bike so why can it be with cash?
