If it seems too good to be true, it probably is -- scam alert.

Yeah, $60 for a K75 is suspicious. Looks funny too....

What you have there is the rare preproduction experimental test K75. If you buy it and keep it in the shed with your other bikes it will only increase in value. If however it does not go up in value you can always have a nice cup of coffee while you gloat at your superior wisdom. Who else will be able to say my K75 makes me a cup of coffee.

Looks nice to me!

Well, let's just my personal rule of thumb is that if a seller on Craigslist has an item that sounds like it might be suckerbait responds with English that sounds straight from Google Translate, there's a good chance that the actual country of origin isn't in North America despite the area code of the seller's telephone. I know  this from personal experience. Caveat emptor, especially on Craigslist.
