Hi Thom,
Have you ever had a check bounce on a collect deal? It made me kind of
uncomfortable that the buyer writes a personal check to you, and the Post
Office mails it to you. Last time I did this it took a whole month to get my
money. There is also no way to track the goods. I have not had a buyer's
check bounce, but it does seem possible. Otherwise, COLLECT is the best
method, despite these drawbacks.

Always send my stuff COLLECT. That way if they don't like it, they just
refuse and it is returned to me. If they do, they must pay before it is
released. I have to make sure that the things I send are as described.
Email pictures are always a good thing.

What is the best method for shipping a truck across country? I know that
the list has discovered how to truck it. What I'd like to know is how are
you supposed to handle the transfer of title, so that both parties are
protected. I have heard a few of you say that you purchased a truck and
when it arrived it was not as expected. This way the buyed gets stuck with
junk. Or whathappens if you ship your truck to someone and they just don't
pay. Then the seller gets took.
Is there some type of escrow company that handles these kindsa of
transactions, so that both parties are protected? Or am I asking too much?
