• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

IT'S BACK. This was for sale a little while ago but we are sure it is a scam!!

Could be Legit

This guy has 42 positives on EBay and has been on there for fifteen years.

I have this same machine and I think the value right now would be right around $12,000 USD or a little less than half of what I paid for it exactly 3 years ago this week.

It is worth more than that to me right now but if I needed the money and didn't care to ride, I may be tempted to take less.
 
Item location: Czech, Czech Republic

Might be a stolen Ebay id? 2 sales in the last 6 months and rest are over a year old and all sales are for clothing... yea stinks of SCAM!

Ask the seller where they are, and where the bike is...
You want to come see it in person before making an offer.
And... you have cash in hand!
See what happens. :shocked:
 
And if you do go for a look, make darn sure you are covered. An elderly couple was killed when they went to look at a vehicle from an ad in social media. Be safe!
 
Here's what I don't get-- why don't the eBay scammers at least *try* to make them appear like they're not a scam?

If I wanted to scam somebody out of a Spyder, I'd start by not lowballing the price, or even better, put it on a bid with a low reserve.

I know a sucker is born every minute, but the route to a good scam is minimizing the number of logical leaps your sucker has to make before they put the money down. When you're dealing with a customer already looking to spend $10K++ on a major purchase, even the dumbest marks are going to do at least a modicum of due diligence.
 
The link opens up and shows $9,200. Also as mentioned above, located in the Czech Republic.

We have all seen videos of how they drive over there :yikes:

I would also question how well (if ever) it was serviced properly.

My conservative principles tell me this is probably not a good buy, or even legit.

Buyer Beware!! :yes:
 
2 identical Spyder parked in front of 2 identical houses located in 2 different countries. That's just amazing!!!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I have wondered about that myself. Obviously many eBay scammers are just as inept as the phishing email people, or the tax due scam phone callers. Sadly, some people fall for them. I hate to think how many millions of dollars I've left on the table by not responding to an agent of the Nigerian Ministry of Finance, or the lawyer of an African widow whose husband left a few million in a US bank, or the like. Got my first IRS tax scam phone call today. I just can't wait for the local cops to come pick me up! He called me by my everyday first name, not my legal name, always said IRS, not Internal Revenue Service, and said I have 24 hours to call back or the local cops will come pick me up! How stupid do they think most people are? :banghead: Even if some people think IRS folks are a**holes they do at least follow a protocol, and will give you time to work things out. Plus they have their own enforcement officers or use the FBI or Federal Marshals, but not local 'cops'!
 
It's gone. I am sure we will see it appear and located in a different place. I hope someone didn't get scammed. I did report it to ebay so maybe they pulled it.
