I saw a blue on white S2 (Item 2474978913) on Ebay last night that caught my eye. 4000 miles appeared very clean but no location except "United States". So I email the seller and receive this back:

"Hello,

Like you see in the picture the bike is in excellent condition.The title is clear and i`m the owner of the bike.The bike is in perfect working condition. It has only 815 miles on it.
Curently i`m in Italy with some bussines and i will stay here abouth 2 months.The bike is in PA and is ready to ship.I will pay all the shipping taxes and insurance.The buy it now price is 4200 $USD. If you want to start the deal you will have to wire me first 1200$ to my full name and address via Western Union.After you make the payment the bike will be shipped to you and you will receive it in 2 days.
After you will receive the bike you will have 1 week to inspect it and to wire me the rest of the money.The bike will be insured against damages, and I will pay 100% for 1-2 days shipping so you can have it as soon as posible.You will receive the title,all the documents and a bill of sale with the bike.

Let me know if you are interested.

Reply me ASAP.

Best Regards"

Since it was an obvious scam, I notified Ebay. They already have it out of circulation this morning.

Buyers beware.

For what its worth
