    Default American vehicle trade

    Anybody ever heard of American Vehicle Trade ? They are " selling " two spiders very cheap. The ads are on cincinnati Craigslist, and many other cities as well i' m sure. Sounds VERY SCAMISH. The bikes are thousands under what they're worth.
    it was fun while it lasted.

    Are they showing the location of the vehicles in USA or in Chezkoslovakia again.

    Sounds like it could be a bring back of an ad from a couple weeks or so back.

    I've listed vehicles on Craigslist and almost immediately have a company respond saying they have buyers for it.

    Probably the same people.

    I have a cheap bike for sale on Craigslist right now for only $750 and these people say they have a buyer for me....but I would have to pay them $200 for the deal????



    I told them very politely .....to go screw themselves.

    i looked at several that were way under priced when i was trying to buy mine. All of them were the same scam. I am in such and such country and cant register it so i need to sell it, i will pay shipping and you have 7 days to inspect the bike etc. Some are im military and stationed overseas so will ship it to you etc. all scams.

    i did a bit of research on it when i was trying to buy and what i found out was that basically they get you all hyped up on the bike then say there was some issue shipping it and you need to provide a deposit and then they disappear. I also had the reverse scam when trying to sell my cruiser. They want to buy it sight unseen and some even tried to offer more than i was asking and they want to pay via paypal and have some company come pick up the bike. To which i responded no problem, have your shipping company bring cash or a cashiers check and its all yours and they all disappeared after that.
