Default Can Anyone Lend A Hand?

Hello from Los Angeles!

I just purchased an antique motorcycle on Ebay. The motorcycle is located in Akron, Ohio and before I pay for it, I need someone to verify that (1) the guy really has the bike and it's not a total scam, and (2) that the bike is in good condition- as it is represented.

I'm not looking for a motorcycle expert (though it would be nice), but mainly someone with common sense that can notice obvious external damage, and deliver my check to the owner without difficulty.

If no one wants to volunteer, perhaps I could pay you for your time. I WOULD DEFINITELY BE WILLING TO COMPENSATE YOU WITH A NEW SET OF MY CUSTOM S2000 SEAT LOCKS.

I'm not rich (I just got out of school, so I'm in a lot of debt), so this deal is A LOT of money for me. I can't even afford to ride this bike, it is strictly an investment.

Post or PM me if you could help out. THANKS!

-Pete

PS- I'll post the exact area where the bike is located when I get the address (it could be next door to your house).

The bike is a rare 1987 Canadian RZ350 in stock form:

If any one else may be available, please post up.

We can always use some backup people.

No problems on the pictures, I have several digital cameras at my disposal. Just let me know when and the addy and I'll go click away. I just sold my bike last week on ebay so it was kinda funny to read your post.

BTW. 4th BB in Tang Soo Do, and 2nd in Tae Kwon Do. Fun hobby for me.

I PM'd the Seller's address to you.

Let me know if you can get to the location, and what time of day is good for you. Then I can set up a time for you to stop by.

The seller sounds like a nice guy and will be helpful with the process.

For now, I just want to make sure he actually has the bike, before I start forking over the cash!

THANKS!

Thanks, bro!

Just to give you an idea of the location, the seller lives on the 200 block of Tudor Ave., Akron 44312.

I'm hoping Zacreth can handle this, but it's great to have back up!

Thank you Zacreth!!!

for checking out the bike.

I'll get your Seat Locks in the mail, right away.

If you're able, I may need you to stop by one more time when it ships out.
