2007 FJR on Cycle Trader - No response from seller

Help Support Yamaha FJR Motorcycle Forum:
Okay, now I'm really confused.
I thought this thread was dead but the listing for the motor in question was updated on Cycle Trader yesterday, Dec-30-2012. Now why would Robert, the seller, renew his listing if the motor is not for sale?!? If it is for sale why does Robert not respond to the message I sent him through the Cycle Trader web site or the voice message I left on his phone?
I guess I'll make another attempt to get more information on this motor.

Why would you be asking US these questions? I can't believe you're still going through this dance with this bonehead. I know it's none of my business what you do here, Mike, but why would you even want to deal with this guy? There are issues here and red flags aplenty. A serious seller with a real motorcycle to sell would not be acting like this. Walk away. Lots of FJRs for sale.

I take exception to the negative comments relative to craigslist. I have sold three bikes and bought two on craigslist. Agreed, there are scammers and it is only prudent to meet the seller and took the bike over before agreeing to buy. I do not sell to buyers who want the bike shipped. They can come and look at the bike and take it to a dealership to have it shipped. If I now had an FJR for sale, I would post it on this forum and craigslist. No reason to think it would not sell with that coverage.
It is simple, I have a $10,000 certified check from the Nigerian National Bank that I want to use to purchase this motor and the seller can refund me the difference between the asking amount for the motor and the check.
Btw, there are hardly any low mileage 2007/08 Gen IIs being offered for sale right now.
Update: I finally got ahold of Robert and he says the motor was sold. So it was a real motor that I missed out on.
Well I found another 2007 in Rhode Island. The mileage is higher (37,000) than the motor in GA and it doesn't have all the farkles but the price is only $5995. A friend in RI thinks he knows this particular motor and the former owner. He is going to confirm that and let me know. Still I wish I could have gotten that GA motor.

Well, HELL, why didn't you tell us this in the first place? No wonder you wanted that one.It is simple, I have a $10,000 certified check from the Nigerian National Bank that I want to use to purchase this motor and the seller can refund me the difference between the asking amount for the motor and the check.
Still think you did well to find a different seller. Robert still sounds like a flake to me, and you can put that $2K difference right where you want it. I think you did fine, and 37K miles is nothing to worry about, IMO.
