Suspicious Ebay / Gumtree Sales

This is an odd one. Wierd stem and saddle with a very basic description

@Skülly been gettin' rad...

Not really 'sus', but I happen to know that a frame advertised on ebay is cracked at the fork (or I'm pretty sure it is), and I notified the seller, who hasn't updated the description or taken it down. What's a wise thing to do here? It's a bit of a safety issue.

Anyone lost a Rad Runner?

D lock still attached rings some alarm bells in this job lot.

Anyone missing a Trek Marlin "with no issues at all"?

Anyone missing this Cannondale.
Bargain. Keeps dropping in price, he keeps changing his name on each advert….it smelt fishy when I first messaged about the frame size and he said large, rather than the number in CM..

Been pushed off your new SL8 on the way to park laps recently? look no further, won't share proof of purchase until after sold along with a story that doesn't really add up.

Brand New S-Works SL8. Selling due to being unable to return as I cut
the steerer tube down before I decided this wasn't the bike for me.

Anyone lost a Condor Heritage Disc near Croydon?

Suspiciously large dent in the top tube and far too small for owner/doesn't seem to know much about bikes

Judging by other items he has to sell or has sold, he works in a bike shop, so probably shifts customers old bikes....

This one on the other hand is selling 'black and blue' bike 🤔 LINK

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/301085689381116/ this has to be stolen surely - also all other items he's selling are saddles, quadlock and pumps...

Oh I messaged this guy about a quadlock mount, got one on here...the following week I was looking for the other type of mount and he had one, BUT same name with a different account.

Asked him if it’s strael or secan he said he has both in different sizes but didn’t really now the sizes and isn’t aware they do T and R versions. No info whatsoever in description. Can’t be more sus really

Indeed and why would anyone have quite so many mini-pumps?

I asked the size and if he could build it up for a test ride, responded '56 I think' and 'how would i do that?'

if he could build it up for a test ride

To be fair, if I was selling a frameset and someone asked me this, I'd tell them to do one.

tbf he did neither.

Not responding with the exact dimensions for a premium frame is very weird.
