Are you the real owner?


What is the present condition?


How much is the final asking price?


Do you have PayPal ID which payment can be made to? I am located at Maryland and i do have a shipper agent that will come over for the pick up if that is okay by you.

It is a scam! I got several of these type of message when I was selling a bike on Craigslist. I answered one of them with a threat to alert the police and got a reply back from the same email account as if I had replied that I would send the info. Funny thing was the email was signed with a different name. It was pretty obvious to me that they didn't even read the email, just assumed that I had answered their question about the condition of the bike! RUN<RUN<RUN!
