Hello again,

You will support the shipping costs(through DAS shipping company and the shipping costs including insurance will be $3420.The shipping will take 8 to 10 days with DAS and will start as soon as payment is clear with Escrow. You will make first one down payment for 10% of the final amount(the down payment will be:$2800) to Escrow, and you'll pay me the remaining balance in 30 days after you have received and approved the car. You’ll pay the shipping costs when you have received the car. Provide me your full shipping address:

I think that's all there would be..a currency exchange. From you to him. Wonder how many downpayments have been sent on this car and (if it actually exists) if the real owner knows how many times it's been sold.

It could be legit but, there are a lot of flags.
Ebay recommends only DAS. (From what I read on forum, EBay doesn't have the best track record).
Brother (conveniently) works for DAS and will take care of shipping.
Going to be in UK only 4 weeks.
Bike will ship from Santa Cruz, CA. (Isn't that California?).
Why not wait 4 weeks, come back and try to sell locally w/no freight involved. Should sell fast if in that fantastic shape.
As said before, could be legit but buyer be very, very cautious.
Cheers
