Is this box still available, I will buy if not?
Thanks

 

[Thierryb]

Hello, yes it is available

 

[VAcracker]

Not sure if anyone else tried contacting the seller and making a purchase but after payment and no tracking number or responses for two days it looks like this was a scam.

Be more careful and less trusting than we were.

 

[GoldFJR]

I was wondering this myself.
Thanks

 

[GoldFJR]

I too
Made the payment via PayPal and that was the end of our transaction.

“Thierryb” (Colin Sweeney); if you are real, reply and redeem yourself!

Sad to say, there are trolls and scammers on this site frequently. I learned a painful lesson by paying a thief $295 for an FJR top case that was never shipped (and probably never even existed).

One tip-off is a price too good to be real, another is when the seller has no credible history on the FJRforum website.

I believe here is the basis for the ad here:
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mpo/d/burbank-2018-fjr-1300-top-storage-box/7667039309.html
I thought that the seller decided to post it on this site after not getting any bites on CL. Looks like instead it was a scammer that skimmed the CL ad and used it to post here.

I would not be sending money (in this case) to any individual who had an intro post and then just a post for selling a headlight assembly and then this item.
(I did an image search on the headlight and found it was also a CL listing.)
If legitimate, I apologize to the OP. But you need to be responsive if you are selling something. People assume the worst (and are usually right)!

Thinking it would be a good idea that someone should need to have some forum "history" before being able to list items for sale.

I just wasted a few weeks with an Ebay seller. Goods never arrived, fake tracking number. Paypal issued a refund. I'm always suspicious of "no Paypal" terms and people who complain about transaction costs.

FB is filled with scammers. I ask people to hold up the item or point to it in a photo or facetime them before parting with money. Not foolproof, but one extra step toward validation.
