Bikessoldquick.com - Anyone dealt with these?
So i have this CBR on autotrader for just over a week now and i got a text of www.bikessoldquick.com saying they have buyers who have registered on their site and are interested in my type of bike. I rung them up and the catch is that I have to pay £30 to them and they say they usually sell the bikes in 1-2 weeks.
Seems sus to me, like they are drumming up business off autotrader for their company. Anyone had any dealings, what do you reckon as i've had no interest so far in the bike. |

Ask yourself, why would anyone wanting a particular bike not be looking on Autotrader/ebay/MCN already?
Money making scheme.

what they do is take your money, inform you they have informed their ficticious buyers and to wait for the calls. When you complain they tell you that their buyers may have not been interested, but then proceed to sell you advertising with their site.
At least thats how their car operation works. |

they are called agencies,
they are bottom of the barrel type people, saying they can sell your bike for you but they cant... any normal person will go looking on the usual sites etc. |
