OK, fellow recumboer's, I believe a similar alert about this has already been posted somewhere,
perhaps at BROL; but thought I'd post it here, to forewarn anyone. I've had my 02 Tailwind up for
sale for less than a week and I've gotten 5 e-mails, like the following:
1.) Dear seller, I am international dealer that deal in importing and exporting of bikes.I am
interested in your Rans 02 Tailwind and i want you to give me the last price of it so that i can
arrange on how payment will be made to you.Meanwhile my mode of payment will be by a cashier's
check drawn from an american bank.If this is okay by you do get back to me as soon as possible so
that will can make the transaction a very fast one and don't forget to send me pictures of the
bike. Thanks. Brian.
2.) My response: Brian, the price for the bike is $800.00. You can see pictures of it, at the
following link: photos.yahoo.comezbiker 2Open ↗ Any payment would be made through my local bike
