Classifieds

What is with the ATV's in the classifieds that are dirt cheap? Example, 2008 Can-Am 800 for $2900??? Last month there was a 09 Sportsman XP 850 for $3000. Both of these are offering free shipping!

Does anyone else find this a little fishy?

I would be leary of those ads that might be a scam. People post cheap prices all over the internet to scam people. I will take a a look at the ads in there...I haven't really in a while.

I would say you are correct...IMO, anything with Free Shipping on a Vehicle isnt legit....However,,,,,Some people just need to get out from under something and will offer it at what they owe or below Market just to get the cash or piss someone off...

For Example....I bought an 87 Corvette once for 100 Bucks...This Lady was going though a Divorce and had to split things down the middle....Just to piss her old man off she sold it for a C note and gave him Half.....

So there are several ways to look at it....But free Shipping I think is the Key to a Scam...

As MWKE said, you should be careful of ads that are under priced and involve free shipping. We do our best here to filter out negative ads and research ads that seem way below market value.

These are usually scams that can affect many sites. If you see someone selling a machine in great shape but way below market value...way below...it could be a scam.

You should always attempt to physically look at the machine if possible. If the seller does not allow that, and pushes towards shipping only...that should raise a red flag.
