They look trust worthy....

The name Bax Global caught my attention because I had heard of them before.

Thought it was from a shipping scam con.

Then on investigation I found that I know them because it was them who shipped the load of bike gear I got in the US a couple of years ago.

However I DID find a warning from 2004 that Bax put out warning about fraudulent Ebay auctions that were using their name.

However, would you pay £6700 to someone with zero ebay feedback?

Also the bikes are Euro, not UK spec, so headlights would need to be swapped out for UK ones.

Add that customs WILL hit these for Import Duty (I dont think that having them write "Gift" on the paperwork will work with this one)

zero feedback... a picture of a yamaha crate, a yamaha dealership and 2 guys with tools... "I am a dealer of the motorcycle"...

I'm almost tempted to give them a call on the numbers supplied - just for a chat, not really to buy the bike. Might try the old bike trader trick... "So tell me about the bike"

"2008 R1 in Eunpyeong-gu, Korea, six fousand seven hundred... talk ta me! is the crate included? what about the two korean boys, do they come with the bike? And they do maintenance do they? Keep the bike looking lovelly?"

It's good to see all of the parts on the shelf and that they're using brand new spanners! Must be a busy dealership.

If a UK based Yamaha dealer did it they would risk there contract with Yamaha.

Looks like a good deal. Best bet would be to forward me the cash then I'll teleport over to Korea and get the papers signed in person....no?
