UP FOR SALE IS MY KAWSAKI NINJA 250 MOTOBIKE. IT GOTS ONLY 648 MILES ON IT. I'M DUN LERNING AND IM TRADING UP TO A HYABOOSA. SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT IM ASKING A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY MOTORBIKE BUT THEY ARE WRONG. THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THE STICKERS IVE PUT ON THIS BIKE. THEY HAVE SKULLS AND FLAMES AND THE SKULLS HAVE SPIKES ON THEM TOO. THERE TRICK YO. I DROPPED THE BIKE ONCE BUT ITS OKAY CUZ THE STICKERS COVER IT UP. ON TOP OF THE STICKERS I HAVE INVESTED ALOT OF $$$ IN TAX AND TAG FEES, AND I'VE PUT SEVERAL TANKS OF GAS INTO IT, SO I WANT TO GET AT LEAST $3900 FOR IT. $3900 FIRM! I SAID FIRM SO THAT MEANS YOU CANT WASTE MY TIME WITH ANY LOWBALL OFFERS! LOL K PEACE.

This is a scam ad that has been posted on craigslist in many different places.

It's obviously a fake ad. I don't know what's worse though, the guy who wrote the ad, or the guy who replies to it.

Guys, come on, he invested a lot in his tags and skull stickers, give him a break.

I ain't buyin' it until I get a pic of those fabulous stickers.!!!

Is it actually a scam? If someone replied, I wonder if the guy actually has a bike to sell, or will he try to hook someone into paying without a bike. Scammers have you wire your money, then disappear. Sounds like this guy is appealing to the crowd that buys things like an image of Jesus in a potato chip, posted on E-bay.
