Scam?

[freewillie]

Does anyone have any experience with mtbsale.com?

They have a status 1 for 900 dollars which is nutty. Really want it. But its kinda sketch...based in indonesia and shit, not trying to be racist, but I find it hard to believe, specially coz lotto these big brnads (Specialized giant and shit) dont allow online sales? At least thats what I have heard?

Really dont want to spend an other summer rippin on my small frame 90mm hardrock from 2005.

Thx

Yeah, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

 

[TheBigApple]

It's obviously a scam.

You don't understand the mtb industry, do you? If you did, being based in Indonesia wouldn't seem sketch but you'll pay out the ass for shipping costs.

I aint lookin to get scammed (Or start beef with you lol)

but on the real...shipping cost lowkey has nothing to do with the mtb "industry". Also, that thing about big names controlling sales of their bikes is legit...thats why you cant walk into any old bike shop and get a specialized or similar brand all the time.

I was just looking to get some thots or experience with the site from anyone on here because that shit is undeniably bunk.

One of the payment options is a fucking wire transfer.

I don't know a ton about private sales like this, especially with bikes, but in my experience with ecommerce, anything that smells of Indonesia (ESPECIALLY Surabaya) is almost 100% a scam.

Didn't realize it was a decent looking ecommerce site (thought it was a classifieds type site)... 100% scam.
