In response to bikesales.com.au ad recieved the following response:
Great! please consider it sold, i want this for my son who study abroad as he will be coming home shortly, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect it, as i work on a rig as a mechanical engineer, i would have love to call but We do not have access to phone at the moment that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. I will be paying you through PayPal or bank Transfer, it depends on which one you prefer if so,get back to me with your PayPal email address or your bsb number and account number so that i can send you the money.I have also contacted my agent who will come for pick up and deliver it to my new house after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct. Await your reply.

Unfortunately being a fairly trusting person forwarded on bank account details for payment.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Same guy just contacted me wanting final price. Luckily I knew it was sus so I googled his email and found this (thanks!). Maybe I should write back and say something like "I guess you won't be able to pick it up as you work on a rig as a mechanical engineer?" :)

User has made multiple attempts to contact me over various periods asking for best and final price to be emailed to his e-mail address. When I txt back no response. I then found his details on this awesome site. very stoked to have seen the details as I can't imagine how bad this could have ended up!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
