I bit and contacted seller, but then saw it advertised in Springfield, IL also. Here's what "Gabrielle" had to say:

"Hey there,

My name is Gabrielle Cornish and I'm the owner of the 1974 Moto`Guzzi Eldorado.This motorcycle is in great shape.It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects.It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident.The title is in my name and is clear.I am selling it at this final price of $2,000  because my husband died 2 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and I, along with my daughter decided to sell the house and so we moved in Butte trying to start a new life. That's the reason why I want to sell it asap and my last price is $2,000  including delivery to your home address."

The delivered price on an old bike is a dead giveaway for a scam.

Well, THERE'S a dead giveaway - in an ad for an Eldo, it says " This bike is loud and fast "

I do a national search occasionally for Guzzi's, sawthis last week show up about 50 times in different parts of the country. Reported it. Anytime they don't give a location, it's fake. At least that's been my experience.
