So, I posted the Z750s in a SoundRider ad about a week ago, and finally got my first reply:

Riiight. You want me to sell you my motorcycle and crate it up, and ship it to England? How dumb do I look?
(There's a very common scam on the Internet these days where someone outside your country contacts you about a big-ticket item you're selling, like a car, boat, plane, motorcycle, etc. They offer to buy it, often for a bit more than your asking price, and then explain that, through a complicated business relationship, they have your price plus 50-100% in a cashier's check. They'll send you the check, you take out your price, then send the rest of the money and your big-ticket item to the scammer. Several weeks later, the bank comes back and explains that it was a counterfeit cashier's check, and you owe them the entire amount. You're now out one vehicle, the price difference you sent back, and the entire value of the cashier's check.)
Anyway, I sent him back a reply explaining that if he would like to fly to Seattle and hand me $5800 in cash, he can take the motorcycle.
I don't expect to hear back from him.
