I have been keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a new/used quad. I have been looking at the ATV trader online. I happened to notice some killer deals, I went to call the #'s listed and they were wrong. So I e-mailed them. Turns out these quads are from europe they want to ship them to me. I called UPS regarding this to get some more info, the lady said they have been getting a ton of the same phone calls from people like me. She said that she is going to have her manager look into this and contact me soon. Scam or killer deal? :bandit:

If it's sounds to good to be true.....

Check out www.atvconnection.com they have been talking about these scams and one guy who post there is out a wad of $

These scams are on ebay as well.

Personally, I don't buy bikes I can't ride first.

Ive heard about thease scams as well and I agree /w/ Tres ,If I cant touch it ride it and kick the tires there's no way Im parting /w/ one red cent.

yep, well said....good deal? Nigga please.....I got a whole parking lot full of Weekend Warriors for sale, at special pricing. Now, all ya gotta do is send me a deposit at such and such bank of acrossa de ocean and we'll..........wake up.....brokers would swoop all over good deals, bring the items over here legitamitely, and resale them...guess what, ain't no good deal anymore......unless you believe in tooth fairys and sandy claws.....

I answered a couple ads from the trader website where the prices seemed awfully low on the quad. The only reason I answered was that they were located in the L.A. area according to their phone numbers and location.

One of them, the number was obviously call forwarded, as I got the recording "you must dial a 1 first", after I'd already dialed the proper numbers to get there. So this stupid scammer wasn't smart enough to use the phone system correctly.

The second one, sent me email back twice. The language/spelling/grammar was even worse than what the teeny boppers of today use. After I wrote back that I wanted to buy the quad, and I would pick it up at their L.A. location, I never heard from them again. Coincidence?

I'd say they are a big time scam.

Tres thanks for the link. Check this one out. Total BS.

I asked them why they are selling them over here (USA) because it sounds like a big hassle for little bit of money and no reply.
F-EM ALL!

I sure wouldnt do it....too risky...why not just pay the extra $ and make sure you are getting a good product

I have 2 really nice bikes for sale...you can ride them first, no scams, 1 is my buddies and he's leaving for the border patrol academy (2001 banshee) www.geocities.com/s10man81 , and the other is my personal race bike. I have a new bike on the way, and even though this one is less then 1 year old. i gotta keep current. www.geocities.com/readygoracing/quadproject.html

price on binchee is 4800$ negotiable
7500$ or dont call on the z400 race bike

it looks very suspicious to me. :?:

I would never buy it unless i rode it, because it could have sand in the cylinder for all I know. :dozey:

another meaningless reply from GlamisChick

Friend of a Friend got screwed on ebay like this..went found the guy..beat the sheet out of him and the cops took over..got his cash back but it was a harsh experience i agree with tres..if i cant touch it, mess with it or ride it..forget it!

[quote]another meaningless reply from GlamisChick[/quote]

Just trying to get more posts

It sure looks like a scam to me! Just look at the Texas plate on the blazer in the back ground and he says the bike is in Portugal.............hmmm

Thanks for the offer on the quads, I am going to probably purchase a 400ex it is for the old lady. I think that will fit her just right.
Check out these other scams I ran across.
