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

De Pere, WI (Green Bay)


« on: July 01, 2011, 08:01:01 PM »

Here's a CL link to a Goldwing trike. Since it was supposedly local I thought I'd email the guy and see just what gives.
http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/2432541541.html

Here's his email answer, all of a sudden the trike is located in that famous spot in Egypt!!  Wink Just think, he'll even take care of shipping. Gee...what a deal. NOT!!!
HIS EMAIL RESPONSE:
Hello,
I am selling this this trike because my unit has been sent to Afghanistan. I will not be able to drive it all this time and I sure don't want to get old in garage. The price it's low because I need to sale it in 1 week. I am after a fast transaction, with no delays. That is why I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.
The trike has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It's in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. I do have the title , clear, under my name. The trike has 63039 miles , year 1989.
If you are interested the price it's $2,500.
The trike is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping.
Let me know if you are interested.
Regards,
Justin

I plan to ask him why the bike is listed in the Orlando, FL area CraigsList when it's located in Great Falls, Montana. Looks like his entire unit were bikers and they all are trying to unload their bikes prior to shipping out. Now ain't that about the saddest story you've ever heard.....again and again and again, ad nauseam.

Tell him that you'll send him a money order for $5,000 if he'll send you a check for the difference.  Evil
