They just P@#% me off. the other day a guy posted a 77 CB 750 A, for $500.00. Said it had a knock at idle, and ran rough. He did not include a phone number, so I e-mailed him. Two days later I get a response to my e-mail. I call him, but no answer, so I left a message. Checked my e-mail just now, and he had e-mailed back. Said he changed the oil, and now it does not knock. He still wants to sell it, but now he wants more money. Screw him.

C-list annoys me too. I want to trade my bike + my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer for a cruiser, but I don't want to post it and deal with a bunch of BS calls and emails. I figure I'll wait until winter time when SUV prices are up and bike prices are down. Unless any of you are interested, hehe..

Did he show a photo of the motorcycle?
How do you know he did not dump some straight 60wt. oil into the engine to cover up the knock?
How many miles were on the bike?
The CB750 automatics may be very hard to get parts for.
I think you dodged a bullet.

It would have been well worth $500.00 to me. Even if the engine was bad. The bike was complete, and original. Also I have a collection of matic parts, and two bikes. I am really into them.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Craigslist. I got my VT700C from a guy in Athens OH via CL. Price was right for a non-running unit in good overall shape. Maybe $200 more for parts (tank, a few gaskets, new grips, etc) and a fair amount of labor (free for me :-) ) and she's running good.
Caveat Emptor is the rule with CL. "Buyer beware".

Yeah cl sucks a lot. My biggest issue with selling things are bs spammers wanting me to give such and such info so they can send payment over what I want to cover "shipping" to some other person because the spammer is out of town.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
