a/k/a Stuffy. '99 I/S Valk Roadsmith Trike

Strangely enough(not really), I've seen this on numerous CL postings. When I first saw it, it happened to be on the CL around Wash., D.C.  When I noticed the price, just out of curiosity I emailed the "seller" to see how big a typo it was. Not a typo but a big scam in the same category as our friend with the green Valkyrie. Maybe they're related.  Grin 

The link shows the bike, and the bottom shows the "seller's" response to my query. I was in hopes they might have dropped the 1 digit at the beginning which would have been a fairly decent price for an '06 if the mileage wasn't out of sight. I asked about the miles but you'll notice she never answered that. Gee, sure hope her divorce works out OK for her. I never responded after the first note from her. I'm amused by her reference to Ebay Buyer Protection Services....the bike is listed on CraigsList lady, not Ebay. Same goes for payment...it's not through Ebay but PayPal. Hmmm....let's see now, the banks don't open until 8:00am Monday morning. Do you suppose dear divorced Marsha can wait that long. Don't hold your breath honey!!!   uglystupid2

Hello,
The bike is located in Philadelphia, PA and I am selling it at this price ($2840) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. The divorce is finished and I own this bike. I work as a dealer on a cruise ship and i want to sell it because I need money for other things. This bike is in excellent working condition, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used, in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title ready for transfer. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. Since i am working most of my time, and divorced I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for me and you to be 100% protected. The final price that I want for this bike is $2840. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and ad dress where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive payment and shipping details from them. I will wait your answer very soon only if you are interested to buy because i don't have any free time to waste.
Best Regards, marsha hill

If it was yellow, I'd give ol' Martha a call.  LOL  The green Valk is now in Atlanta.

Daily occurrence in the Tampa area, I have seen 10 different Goldwings listed at ridiculous low prices.
Just another scammer, like the green tourer that was making the rounds.
