me : I'll take it... let me know how we proceed
him : Send me the money and I’ll get it shipped off today and it should be with you tomorrow if not the next day
me: i'd like to collect please.
him: Yeah I’m based in Plymouth
me : Your location stated Yorkshire ?

Yeah sounds dodgy (mentioning he's in Plymouth). Their previous sales were from Edinburgh.

Found his Facebook, seems like a real person and a rider, at least. I'd wait for the explanation before writing him off.

OK maybe not!

If the kit turns out to be in Knaresborough let me know if you want it looked at weeksy, easy enough to pop in on my way home.

I'd been messaging him about that ghost frame which is clearly a 2016 model based off my now extensive ghost catalogue research.
Was waiting on the serial number but nothing since telling me "it's boxed away mate but I'll check".
Dodged a bullet perhaps.

Thanks Danger, but I don't think it actually exists.

Knaresborough? It really does 😉

I've no doubt the kit exists either, just not likely to be in the possession of the "seller"
