YES, I would consider this a scam. if you have this bike on craigslist, you will be getting many of these offers. I have one on there now and receive them almost daily from all over the globe.

I always tell em to bring cash when they pick it up, don't normally hear from them after that...

Bob,
    I had the same thing happen to me about 5 years ago.  After some checking it appeared the purchaser was giving about 6 different addresses and none of them checked out.  IT IS A SCAM.  Hope I run into the guy someday.

Hey Guys,
This is what I've been doing..tell them to send the Cashiers Check and you will be happy to transfer funds & get the bike ready for there transport company to pick it up, but you need $100.00 CASH in USD to cover your expences of going to the bank to complete the transaction..No takers yet, but how SWEET would it be scam the scammers:D..and at worst they won't bother you again..Buddy

That's a sweet deal Bob and I'd be all over it if I didn't already have one. I can't understand why someone hasn't grabbed it.
