I was interested in purchasing a motorcycle on ebay, and had to be preapproved. This was the email i got back.

Hello there,

Thanks for your email.

First of all I want to thank you for contact me and your interest in my
bike. I know that are numerous offers on eBay and I'm glad that you choose
to contact me regarding your willingness to purchase.
I have for sale three bikes
All prices are in USD and include shipping.
I am a private seller not a shop and I have for the moment the privilege to
buy these items at low cost so that you have the opportunity to purchase
from me at great savings from the original price.
Each bike is like new, completely working, with 2 years EXTENDED,
INTERNATIONAL and TRANSFERABLE warranty and will be honored at any dealer in
your country. The bikes are US models with US specs and passed the US test
emissions. All the manuals and the original documentation are written in
eight languages. You will receive your bike in 4-5 working days by air cargo
at your home address. It is insured in case of damage and it take 4-5 days
to be delivered at your DOOR. The title is clear and you will register it in
your country. I send all my items having written on them ''gift'' so you
don't have to pay any additional taxes. I will send you the item with all
the papers (warranty, insurance etc. ...) .
The shipping costs and the insurance taxes of the package will be down to me
and you will only pay for the money transfer commission when you wire the
funds, which is about 4% from the total amount sent. The unit is being
shipped from England and you won't have to pay for customs or any additional
taxes when it arrive in your country. There may be some customs for you to
pay, but if you wish we can avoid them: you'll declare you send money to a
friend and I will declare the shipping as a gift/donation.

The payment is fully refundable. If for any reason you do not accept the
bike or if the bike has scratches, hidden defects, or it is not as
advertised. You will only pay for the shipping back to my location if you
reject the bike but since it is a state of the art bike and works and looks
perfectly I think it would not get to this.

Please let me know if you are interested and which model you want and I will
provide you further information to purchase the bike as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
Michael Baldridge.

PS: If you are interested in a package deal for two bikes the prices are
negociable (up to 15% smaller), shipping included.
