thanks for the heads up Bill...

they guy never contacted me again so Im sure it was nothing but a scam.

whats interesting also is that a real local guy has been contacting me about the bike as well... and they have very similar email addresses... but the local guy has been emailing 2 or 3 times a day asking specific questions and going back and forth over different things so hopefully the sale will go through.

I wouldn't even reply if I were you, the scam ones usually all have basically the same message about paying with a check, needing your info and to remov the ad. If you reply you are actually giving them/confirming your e-mail address. When they e-mail you it goes thru Craiglist and they don't have your address until you respond.

I may be off base here, but this dude was going to send you a check WITHOUT even checking out the bike?!?! I have and never will buy a bike unseen I don't care how much it costs. That fact in itself tells me this is a scam. That and the broken English. These scams would work better if they were written in the King's English, and not some broken dialect.
