I've located a used bike I'm extremely interested in..
It is a "Stonner highway robbery" deal. You know.. the kind where you are scratching your head wondering why the owner is asking such a low price.
I figure I'm going to go check it out if I can, and then make the guy an offer assuming he is not lieing about the condition.
I'm wondering what is the safest way for me to buy a used bike without getting scammed. The bike is down in NYC so depending on how I'd pay for it I'll have to make 1-2 trips.
When I sold my bike in Feb the guy sent me a bank check, and then waited for it to clear, and then came and picked up the bike. He seemed to trust me WAY more than I want to trust a random seller. He paid for the bike before he even saw it. I could possibly have scammed him.
I am a bit more paranoid.. just curious what other people have done. If this worked out I'd be ridiculously happy... it sounds like it has that kind of potential.
