    While I have personally not dealt with Travis, I do see him buying and selling ALOT of trikes on the Atc facebook pages. He Usually looks for 87 200X's and other trikes that are in nice oem condition. I would think that your transaction should go smoothly with him, but like I said, i dont have any dealings with him so who knows for sure. Good Luck

    I not only would, I did it twice last month . Not only that, just last month I also gave 3 different people I didn't know a total of $58,500.00 in personal checks for vehicles I had not test driven or even seen in public and have been doing business this way for over 30 years.

    A few months ago a regular member on this site that had never met me or spoken to me on the phone sent me a few thousand dollars for some very rare parts for a car he was restoring and was very happy with the parts and the delivery time.

    And therin lies part of the issue . I buy fairly rare cars and there are very few good ones left 45 years or more later and they are spread out throughout the US, so I can't simply drive down the street to find them, therefore, I either take a risk or I find another business . That being said, I don't just blindly send money to anyone that has an ad on Craigslist etc either . I talk to the people and get as much info as I can about them and if something seems suspicious I don't send them anything, and I can say that after over 30 years of sending a boat load of money to people I didn't know with no real recourse, I have never once gotten burned.

    No risk = No reward

    Maybe it's just me then. I can't afford the risk. If you can, more power to ya.

    I'm just a kid without a dollar to his name trying to survive in this world. Killing myself at work with not much to show. Hell the only 250r I ever even got to ride was the one I got off captainwheezy for one of his clients as I drove it to load it in my truck. I can't afford the high dollar trikes. I stick with the hardtails.

    Maybe one day I'll win the TF raffle and be able to ride with the big boys.

    Thanks for all the advice and help but deal went south fast. Next time someone wants to buy something from me and mentions shipping I'm out. Telling him I would only go through if payment was friends and family now has me plastered on the facebook tecate page making me out to be the scammer because I made him feel like a "thief". Lesson learned.

    What is the link to that page?

    What happened to the certified check he was going to send, did you decide not to take that?

    pay pal friends and family. Then he wanted picture of my drivers license which I wouldnt give him, which doesnt even have my current address because I moved this summer and never went and had it changed. Like El Camexican said cash and carry from here on out. If I would have just stuck with that I wouldnt be getting my name drug through the dirt now.

    IMO, if you want to hold an auction, spend the extra couple hundred bucks and put it on ebay, don't hold a silent bid on Facebook. And when you reach a deal, don't ask the buyer to purchase a $1700 trike with no protection on his end. I have been screwed twice on internet deals, and both were from people who didn't accept pay pal.

    I never posted it for sale. I wanted to know what it was worth the condition it was in. I was trying to decide if it was worth the money I had figured to fix it or sell it. No where in my post did it say for sale.

    No dude, we aren't stupid. You were looking to see what you got offered in private. Correct, you didn't "say for sale", but it was as good as a classified ad. Just like the guy earlier in the week who did the same thing with an 86. I'm going to talk to the page owner and put an end to this stuff, that will end this sort of drama.

    Ok, I am stumped on this one. Why would he want a pic of your DL? That's a new one.
