Thanks guys - Here is my ad... http://www.racingjunk.com/Customs/18...ster-1250.html

I don't understand how anyone could scam me...no way would the bike or title leave my hands without the money. What could possibly be the ploy? Debating weather to email him back or not.

Rich, I have had this quite a few times on a site I've sold on called KIJIJI. What you got was the first contact. The next one will be a forged PayPal credit "In Trust", until they receive the bike. Any foreign buyer who is legit will phone and have real questions before offering to pay full price, just like you or I would. I've played them out to the end before(it's cold and boring in the winter where I live,LOL) and they will send you an e-mail saying you've broke the trust conditions, but by then I had already confirmed with PayPal that their payment in trust was fake. Good Luck. J.R.

I would be careful with that Rich, it does not make much sense. I have sold some old collector bikes on ebay and you can't believe the places that the emails and calls come from, even when you state that you only sell to the USA.
