Complaint Review: Timothy poles - Internet

I found his add on craigslist..http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/1568370411.html

I contacted him asking questions about the bike and he would never give me an answer that had anything to do with the bike. Here are the emails back and forth.

We could afford it anymore.
That is the reason I was looking to sell it as hrs at work have been so drastically cut I'm thinking I may need to find another job. I do wish it would have worked out but in reality and most men don't like to admit it but I just don't have and can't get the cash, and due to the cut hrs at work I have not been able to keep up with credit card bills and so my credit is really bad. I had even given my credit union a call to see if I could get the loan and they said no, thats when it really hit home and really hurt my pride that I can't hardly provide for my family.

From Me:

I apologize, but there is a misunderstanding.. My last email was not confirming that I was going to purchase the bike, I was just stating that to do it that way is smart. I am just trying to get some information about the bike... My assumption is that you are not the original owner of the bike, if you would could you tell me when you purchased the bike and how many miles where on the bike when you purchased it. Also.... why are you getting rid of the bike... and if you are in AZ.. why is the bike in Penn. I know that these might be annoying questions but I would like the answers before I consider a purchase.

   Thank you.

Sounds like a safe way to do it on both ends, but I was wondering if you were the original owner of the bike? Also, great pics of the bike.. I noticed that there is a helmet, a jacket, and a backpack in the pics.. are these items comming with the bike?    On Sat, 1/30/10, Timothy Poles <[email protected]> wrote: From: Timothy Poles <[email protected]> Subject: Re: To: Date: Saturday, January 30, 2010, 10:29 AM      Here is how it works if you have never used Autotrader.You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction.Autotrader contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to Autotrader, Autotrader confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the bike which should be at your door within 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Autotrader forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the bike free of charge.       Basicly Autotrader holds your money safe until you confirm that the bike is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.  On the other hand I can ship the bike knowing Autotrader has your money and you won't disappear with my bike. We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases. Thank you, Tim. On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 1:54  wrote: Are you the original owner of the bike?
