he has got 0 feedback never buy any thing from some one with 0 feedback

[Biker Biggles]

You'd go and check it out,paperwork and HPI just like any other private sale.
That's what Id do anyway.

[dirtydog]

We all have to start somewhere don't we? how is he meant to get off the zero count if nobody buys anything off him? is he meant to buy/sell some cheap rubbish on there to get his feedback up? in which case it counts for nothing really.

So how does a first time user of Ebay (selling) go about it then if that's the 'rule' ??

[plowsie]

Wouldnt go on what feedback says, would do the same as others have said ring him see if he seems legit, act like you dont know an SV, see the reason then go view it.

[yorkie_chris]

HPI it then buy it on face value, even if it is nicked then you're insured by HPI against what you paid for it.

Or its a lemon thats about to blow its heads off...

[Biker Biggles]

Id go and check it out whether he had feedback or not.
Im told you can buy feedback so I dont take much notice of that anyway.

[yorkie_chris]

You can get loads of feedback in about a week by buying every cheap piece of crap you see and paying straight away for it

Possibly a repaired write off?

[rob13]

Im not saying that this guy is the same but I saw someone get scammed out of £5k for a very cheap Audi TT which they thought was a genuine deal. Turned out it was a scam and unfortunately because the crime was commited in a foreign country, there was nothing the UK police could do about it. It did appear a geniune car to begin with.

[kwak zzr]

Possibly a repaired write off?

i found out after owning my zzr6 that by law seller doesn't have to tell the buyer that the bike has previously been a insurance total loss, its up to the buyer to do a HPI check, personally i wouldn't hide that information from a perspective buyer, colinsv24 who had my last one came to see my old 650s at several stages of the rebuild and i was e mailing him photo's as i went along.

[Ceri JC]

I don't see what the problem is. I would HPI it and would only pay cash on collection, after I'd checked it was legit myself. I'd do this whether the seller had 0 feedback, or 100. As others have said, it's easy to fake good feedback on dozens of cheap items (some people even sell good feedback!). It's one thing to trust feedback on something costing £20, or even a couple of hundred, but on a bike costing over £1K? No chance.

As to the price there might be a genuine reason he needed a quick sale and it's not the best time of year to sell a bike.

[kwak zzr]

if it was legit a main stealer would give him more than that.

[mister c]

if it was legit a main stealer would give him more than that.

A mate of mine has just bought a Speed Four off ebay "55" plate 1500 miles on the clock for the bargain price of £2400. The seller was genuine with minimal feedback. He had bought a Mille and his wife had told him to get rid of the Triumph. The Aprillia dealer had only offered £1500 part ex, so he thought any more was a bonus.

for a 55 plate speed four! thats why there called stealers then:rolleyes:

As I understand it, you must notify the buyer if the vehicle is a Cat C or worse (B, or A). I may be wrong; after all, IANAL :D

[yorkie_chris]

Well I've seen slightly different rules which said that Cat B or A could not be resold, B is break for parts only, A is crush for scrap.

Yeah, that's true. I'd say more in my defense, but instead i'll admit that i'm talking out of my :flower:

this is correct, all a repair'd bike needs is an mot, the VIC check is for cars.

[toonyank]

he has got 0 feedback never buy any thing from some one with 0 feedback

Eh? Is this a reason not to buy? If he wasn't on ebay would you buy... probably. He's only been a member for 10 days.

I think I may call his bluff and have a day trip to Middlesex

[rob13]

I emailed him for more info but he hasnt replied yet.

[rob13]

He's replied and its a definitite scam, his email reply has it written all over it. For those interested WALK AWAY!.

:smt017 how

[kwak zzr]

what did he say about his pride and joy?

[Shellywoozle]

I asked him a few questions about the bike, if it had been dropped and a few things you would askand got this reply.

"Hello there,
I want to thank you for your email and interest in buying my Suzuki.The price of the Suzuki is £1,580.00,as listed on eBay.The Suzuki it is ready to be delivered,but I want to be sure that you are a serious buyer.I am not home right now and if you want to purchase the Suzuki and start the transaction as soon as possible,my wife can make all the delivery arrangements.For our security I want to make this transaction through eBay Classified Ad Purchase Protection Program,which will protect both of us and also offers insurance about the deal,feedback or any dispute resolution.After eBay Team Classified Program will approve our transaction,they will contact us with the eBay Invoice for Payment and Delivery Confirmation Request,needed to start the deal.If you decide to buy it and you are ready to start this deal,please reply me with your full shipping details,full name and delivery address and as soon as I will receive your reply,my wife can start the arrangements for the delivery.I am waiting for your shortly reply.Thank you - "

No reply to my answers just wanting to start the buying process.

DODGY I would say. Never even bothered answering my questions. Even getting someone else to deal on his behalf and he isn't very good at English so I would say a foreign scam.

Sounds like he's staying at Her Majesty's pleasure :D

[rob13]

Because theres no such thing as purchase protection - they set up an email and set a spoof mail to gleam your details.

Its the same email I got from them, total scam. Same as the email I read about the Audi

[plowsie]

Refers to it as the suzuki aswell, would expect him to call it the bike.

Has anyone reported this one to ebay?

[plowsie]

Right i've e-mailed, not actually gonna go look at it but fancy a play now as i'm bored at work :lol:

Hi i'm very interested in your bike...Where abouts are you based so I can come view the product before I think about buying it. Why is the price so low also? Are there any problems with the bike also?
Look forward to your reply

[therealvw]

that does sound like abig scam.
Stay well clear. As the saying goes if you think there is something dodgy with it, there normally is!
gut instinct is one that not a lot of us heed.

[rob13]

Well I pursued it a bit more to the point where he told me he lived in some address in London which turns out to be some international company address! Also said he was out of the country so couldnt see it, but if I wasnt happy with the bike on delivery, I could have my money back!

Reported him to Ebay but seems to be still trading. Looks like a hijacked account

[kwak zzr]

i'll have one going cheap soon, i still want a 650 again.

[plowsie]

for £1580? :rolleyes: ;)

[kwak zzr]

err yes, as long as i make something out if it doing her up i'm happy and the £££ will just got towards a 650s.

[plowsie]

I'll swap ya mine ;)

[kwak zzr]

mmm i'm not joking:) and i like your curvey but its worth more than £1600, sell her and buy my 1000 or keep both.

[kwak zzr]

when i put the sv1000 up for sale i dont think i'll have too much trouble shifting her at the kind of price i'm asking.

[plowsie]

What you asking? £1600?

[kwak zzr]

thats about the kind of money yes, altho i do need to fix her up good first and work out how much she's cost me, up to now she owes me about £????. altho shes a cat c i have all the info about the accident and pictures to show the buyer of damage caused.

[plowsie]

your a good honest man Daz, should try and get what pointy's are going for though mate....

[kwak zzr]

being a cat c id say tops £2000, still for 2k its a good bike and the buyer knows the history, they wouldn't be much deprecation on it either. if i cant sell her for what i'm asking i happily keep the big twin:)
