OH NO, someone is selling my Columbia Five Star Superbe!!!!!

[BankerRAt]

So I am doing my usual trolling on my local craigs list and I come across a post for a Columbia Five Star Superbe.

I opens the post... and B A M. You guest it... the guy is selling my bike! And I didnt even know it :x Now I know where he got the picture and I know once it is on the net its no longer just my picture. In fact, I am actually taking it as a compliment that this person chose to use a picture of my bike! However, two things are transpiring here. 1) he doesnt actually have the bike thats in the picture.
2) he is misleading the vintage bicycle buyers into thinking he has a bike in such fine original condition. I sent him a nice, tasteful email asking him why he is trying to mislead buyers into thinking he has this bike!
Here is the post. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/1450265899.html

Let me know what you all think

Instead of flagging it, we should wait it out to see what he is up to, I too sent a response and said I could pick it up this a.m., Want to go for a Ride Glenn

 

[BankerRAt]

[KOTA]

NOW he knows both your houses will be empty.........When you return all your bikes will be wiped out! :lol:

 

[KZ1000]

Uh Oh!!

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

what if he's reading this post?

 

[ratina]

he probably has the same bike just swiped pictures to use in his ad, its very misleading since he doesnt mention its not the same bike. Or its just a scammer collecting email addresses

 

[HotRodRob]

I just gave the guy a call and he said It's all mine if I want it, all I had to do was give my Visa # to hold it for me :shock: I can't wait to pick it up.
