Limited edition Pinarello Prince w/ Di2 on CL?
Thought this was quite odd, especially if only 23 were made for the US

EDIT: wow nevermind, just saw it on a CL for a different city

Great deal... 
But too good of a deal for me, this bike would go for about $15k right? Also, no phone number or name of seller with an item like this is suspicious.

well it says 'auction' so I thought there could be a chance that they were just promoting their ebay listing or something.
i responded just to get some pics and info on how he got it before i realized what was up

I could tell before even opening this thread that the listing was a scam.

That's a really good deal; thanks for the heads-up!
I just need to get in touch with my Nigerian banker in order to clear up some funds...

The same ad just appeared in the Orange County (CA) CL, with even shorter text:
https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/1640830253.html
A very enterprising scammer, who ever it is.

These scams are the same all over CL..They find a nice bike on ebay with pics, copy the photos and info, place on CL and wait for the emails..
They will say they are out of town on business but if you want me to hold the bike for you, send a western union asap.. It only takes 1 sucker because there is no bike and the seller vanishes with your $$$
