Look at the item description down in the auction.  "Harley FLHCSE Screamin Eagle Electra Glide HOT!"  And "HOT" it is, I'll bet too!  I see similar scams on ebay all the time...makes me wonder just how many there are stupid enough to fall for it.  Must be some because these fools keep on with these types or listings....sad, really.

Just looked at the auction.  It's a scam.  A year to 18 months ago there was a ton of scams using that particular format.  Auctions that required "permission" to bid.  Many were saying that the bike was overseas.  However the tease played out though the goal was always to steal the deposit.

Several users that pointed the beginnings of the scam to eBay were used to look for and monitor the actions as they continued.  A ring was eventually caught and prosecutions began.  Someone likely involved in the old scam but never caught or who just happened to see it and thought it worthwhile to give it a shot is playing the con again now.

Definitely an azzhole running a scam.  Probably does this scam when he's not asking you to give your bank acct #'s for a free deposit from the King of Nigeria or the Prince of the Netherlands.....email re-route is classic.

He probably wants a money order sent to a P.O. Box in the Cayman Islands.

So (maybe) someone hacked his original listing and used that as the platform for a scam.  It's happened there before.......

What I love now though is a line he's got in the listing that reads something like "this is how much I've got invested in it so I'll sell it to you for that!!"

But he's not added much to the bike.  And it's still two years old.  Which means (if what he writes is true) that he paid way too much for it to begin with.  But he'll do everyone a favor and only pass on his mistakes at their own cost without making a profit from them at our expense  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Gotta love it.......
