I had a call last week from a guy overseas. Said he was calling about my bike, on behalf of a friend as he had a stammer. He was English. Said his friend was over this week, could he email me and come and see the bike? I gave my email address and he has been in touch, and is coming tomorrow.
I said cash only, no 'cashing cheques' etc. he said that was fine, and he had a lot of people refuse to see him as he was calling from abroad and they were worried it might be a scam. He lives in Gibraltar, comes from Surrey.
The only thing he asked was if I could advertise it on motorcycle supermarket as he would get 7 days free insurance, which I think mcn do anyway and it's on there.
So all in all, it sounds quite plausible. The guy seems genuine, and he knows his bikes from his emails.
Just wondered if there is anything I should be aware of, as I don't believe it's a scam, but don't want to get stung. Has anyone else had a similar experience when selling?
