Zero feedback, advertising expensive bikes for less than dealer cost;
yeah, right.

Typical listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22649&item=6500725085

(mind the line wrap.)

Looks very much like the same one that was selling as "Akron Bike" and
"Secom Cycle" previously.

This isn't the only one. There's another who keeps using hijacked accounts and
advertises expensive bikes without a size and claims to have many sizes in
stock as he is liquidating his small shop.

I loved the ones where he couldn't even scale the photos to fit the page.

I looked Wed AM (US Eastern time), and that listing has been removed.

I say we all keep them busy by asking a lot of questions. Ask where they are
located and then say you will be in town and want to pick up the bike in
person.

He's back with this and 72 others:

The only things that changed are the email address and the user ID.
EBay was notified over 24 hours ago; no action yet.

Those photos were cropped that way on the manufacturer's website, if
you're talking about the Litespeeds.

He's claiming to be in the UK now. It was San Diego originally. My
bet is that he's somewhere closer to Kiev.
