New Madone, $1200 - Is This for Real?
Man, this sounds far too good to be true, is this a scam? What's up with it?

Scam.
Any auction that tells you to contact them outside of ebay with a BIN is a rip off.
There's been a lot of these types of auctions for high end bikes recently.

It strikes me as odd that there are 25 bids on an high priced item with a seller that has a feedback rating of 12 at 92%

Sorry for my late reply, and late post of the same topic. Anyways, the seller just pulled the auction at the last minute. I asked if the Bike was real carbon and a 54 cm available. I got a reply like this:
"Thank you for your question. We currently do not stock 54 cm. However, a 56cm should fit you fine. Bid now and bid high for your dream bike!"
Yeah, kiss my a$$.
