IF you take the proper precautions. Dont do stupid things, like send them
money when they are the purchaser, I wouldnt be afraid to sell to an overseas
buyer. You hold the cards. The item doesnt leave your possesion UNTIL you have
the funds in your hands and cleared thru your bank.You decide how soon the
funds become safe with the help of your banker and once the funds are in your
account, they can be turned into cash. No doubt many people have been husseled
but if they had taken proper precautions, they wouldnt have been a victim. I
would be just as careful selling in person. Many motorcycles and cars have
been purchased with fake MO's or cashiers checks or one person test drives the
bike while his friend stays with you--then when he doesnt return, the friend
dashes and you are standing with nothing but a sad look and no scooter.No
doubt being careful is important but I would let the cash talk, no matter what
form it arrived in.
