Default too good to be true?

Alright, so once I fix my cluster-ish problem I'm going to sell my 954...but wait.

i just looked on craigslist in cities by me and this: http://daytona.craigslist.org/mcy/857050390.htmlpopped up...

i was going to get prolly a yamaha r1 or a cbr 1krr that's not a retired stunt bike and that HAS been cared for before i came along...so that all i have to do is keep the chain nice 'n oiled and properly tensioned, change the oil...baby the paint and everything else....

but is that deal for that 954 too good to be true? think anything could be wrong with it?

Cage, 12 bar and fresh paint. Either was a stuner or a serious poser. I guess you could check it in person and see.

I just got an email back from the guy, I'll let you look it over...I think I might be getting lured into a scam...what do you guys think?

Hi,
the bike is still available, it'sin great condition, has been properly maintained, has never been laid down or abused in any way. It has a clear title and the price I`m selling it for is $3100, which is including all charges.
I used to live in Piersonbut I`m currently working in the UK (London) and I`ll be moving here permanently within the next few months and I can`t afford the luxury of taking the bike with me so I decided to let it go.
I`m using a third party company called MoneyBookers LTD. to sell this bike, I left it at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. They are supervising the entire sale process from payment, shipping with a 14-day inspection period, returns (if needed) and refunding.
If you want to purchase it, let me know and I will explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can move forward.
I will be waiting your email.
Thanks

He seems legit but then again...

Looks like an old scam to me .. not saying it is one but it sure looks like one .. btw, typing in "moneybookers scam" in google yields 126,000 results. I read the first two and it didn*t sound too good.

I've seen multiple auctions with almost the same wording. I know it's tempting, but I'd put a 95 percent chance on it being a scam, or at least you'd be buying a stolen bike.
