I recently posted an ad on Craig's list to sell my old Raleigh which I figure to be worth about $275. It has Sora components and was well loved and used, but still a good bike. I also mentioned that the bike was actually too small for me and that I would be willing to make a trade for a similar entry level bike in my size.

Well, one of the replies is from a guy who says he has an Allez with 105 components. He even specifies a place near by where we can meet and I can look at his bike. Knowing this to be a much better bike than mine is, I respond that this would not be an even trade, and I really should stop spending money on bikes, so thanks anyway. He replies that he would consider it an even trade. He is just desperate to get a bike in his size.

Now, I don't know that much about bikes, but I know that anything with 105 components tends to retail around $1500 and up. If he really wanted a bike in his size, he could easily sell his expensive bike and buy a much better bike than mine in his size.
so it's got to be a scam, right? No one is that ignorant, right?
