What he said. That’s how I’m doing it from now onGo into the bank with the buyer and get a draft done there on the spot from his account so you see it done. The counterfeit drafts these days are so good that even bank tellers pass them as good until the money doesn't clear days later then you're F'd. I've bought and sold items this way and it is a nice piece of mind knowing you're not taking any chances. There are now even PayPal scammers too where it looks like you get the funds into your account but afterwards you get a notice saying the money sender has retracted the funds or that PayPal itself cancels it due to fraud. The criminals are so good now it's scary.
1985 searay srv 240.What are you selling?
Good old cash works
Risk of being counterfeit lol, unless u know how to check it and trust me there are some really good counterfeiters who love to laundry money on unskilled bystandersI always thought that a Certified Cheque was as good as cash but I guess there are ways around anything now. On my new boat the builder and I decided on a cash portion to be paid to save a few bucks on taxes and helped on his end as well. It feels a little strange walking out of the bank with 2 big stacks! It was fun having it in my hands right up until when I had to hand it over....lol But if at all possible I think cash is still king....
