Questions about selling on the net???
OK...So I have had some people interested in my bike...I have been e-mailing them... Some of this seems a little odd for a couple of the people interested.
#1 - A couple of the people were from overseas. I gave them the web address of the pictures and they are still requesting that I e-mail pictures. You can right click and save any one of the pics.... They also want to send a cashiers check to my house and asked for my address....Not once asking any further questions about the bike.
Does this seem odd???? Is this someone working on getting all of my information for something like an Ebay scam or am I just being too careful???
Can anyone screw you around with just your name and address???

And why would someone pay for all of that shipping???? Seems crazy enough to be anything but a true interested buyer.

I agree that they could take your pictures and information and attempt to seel your bike to someone and send them the money!. They would need direct pictures so the URL would match!
