Just like this guy, trying to advertise a base 999 as an "S".

Ad's already gone

I'm a little IZ_ today - what's up with the 999?

Well, it's not an S. It's a base 999 with either S decals or fairing side panels. Dead give away is the suspension and the brakes.

    Hello ,

    My name is Andrew. I am emailing you regarding the 2005 Ducati Superbike Biposto that I have for sale.
    The bike is in perfect condition , with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings.It has 100 miles. I have a clear and clean title for it , no liens or loans ready to be signed and notarized on your name ...
    I'm selling my son's bike, who died in Iraq four months ago and I want to get rid of it asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and often and the pain is too great . Put yourself in my shoes and you'll do the same (selling the bike of your dead son, no offence) !!!
    As you probably noticed , the final price that i want for this bike is $2.600 if you will buy it today or tomorrow .
    Let me know where are you located and any other details you need about it.

Hello Andrew

I am very sorry to hear about your son.  Of course you want to get rid of the bike soon.

Can you tell me if the factory rotobulscrotum is still attached?  Some people remove them.  I could not tell from the photos, could you send me more photos of the bike to verify?

I am very amenable to your offer and wish to consumate our union immediately

Please reply

Jack N. Meoff

he's legit.  i sent him the same email and he replied with pics of the bike showing the tag (from VA) and his phone #.

looks nice.  i might buy it and part it.

I`m located in Helena Montana(the bike is here with me)right now because i got a new job here,the thing is i`m  very busy and i don`t have time to stay and meet with all my potential buyers, that is why i gave to a shipping company that will ship it to the next owner(on my cost). I will make the deal only to eBay. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 7 days testing period after delivery. During that 7 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested in buying it so I can ask eBay to send you the details on how this works. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay (full name,  full address) so we can get things started.
Thanks,

Andrew

and he attached photos of someone's 999!
