Very important in this case to look at the seller's feedback. I wouldn't buy a bike or any other big-ticket item from anyone who hasn't established a good feedback rating as a SELLER. I read people's feedback to make sure that they've actually sold things. Most sellers give out positive feedback just for paying in a timely fashion, so it's important to read the feedback.
