I certainly do. Have been asking for any 1980 Mugen parts for my 250. Received several emails from a David Blau - everything copy and pasted from my email into his. When I was asked specifically what I wanted - this was copied and pasted also - including the spelling mistake. He apparently is parting out this absolutely immacualte 1980 CR250 with the "requried" Mugen bits on it - exhaust, head, barrel, piston/rings - and has offered them for $300!!!
I would load up a picture of teh bike being parted but can't from here - suffice to say it is a mint looking unit.
Looks like one of these "too good to be true" efforts where someone users other peopls pics etc to sell the "sale".

Pay by paypal and if it a scam claim back your money.

If your alarm bells are ringing then walk away.
Telling you what you want to hear is their game.

Everyone who knows what Mugen is also knows its worth a fortune, $300 is not real..
-
Lozza - thanks - I was thinking of doing a bit of a search for exactly that. Yes JO - my thoughts exactly - $300 get real - and yes Ally have been discussing slowly slowly with email but am over the novelty now.
thanks guys!

I love playing them, more you waste their time , less time they got to scam others. I seen many great deals on Gumtree on bikes. Funny how they always are in Dawin , car or bike in Sydney, just divorced, ex wife in London, just wire me the money and pic it up. They must suck someone in or they would not do it.
Play them and get posting us, great entertainment.
After a while, there were so many too cheap bikes , I would just report them to gumtree straight away and they would be removed.

I have actualy got a pic of the infamous David Blau, he seems a very trustworthy person I don''t know why anyone doubts him. I must be lucky because he has a rare set of Rotax 258 cases for $300 as well.
He looks just like Mr Traveller
(http://www.uspassportnow.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/3Passport-name-change.jpg)
and Mr Frank Moss
(http://www.mshepp.com/images/epassport.jpg)
Who would have thought 3 blokes looking nearly identical
-
Lets all send him $300 that way he may overdose!
-
You could reverse scam him. Send him ridiculous reply emails to see how long he will drag the train. Google it, there are some pretty funny example......If you can be bothered.
-
I am dragging him along, I just said i have a friend who can come around and pay him cash
-
Tell him $300 is over the top and offer him $20

Got this email tonight:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You may (or may not) be pleased to know that I don't want to join the forum as Road Bikes and Road Racing is my scene.
I would just like to say thanks to the folks on this thread:-
http://forum.ozvmx.com/index.php?topic=29962.0
for their info on "David Blau" who has read my post here:-
http://www.bartg.org.uk/forsalewanted.asp
and is currently trying to interest me in a Creed 75 Teleprinter. He sent me (a) photo which appears to be this this one:-
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32324331@N02/3042330438/lightbox/
which belongs to the National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park, so I won't be sending him any money....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like our Mr Blau is a pretty active scammer.
-
He replies to wanted adverts and asks for $300, putting the squeeze on him now which is fun.
