If it don't smell good, don't eat it.... mmm I mean don't do it.
The stories are outlandish, I need it for a show in Germany, I'm too busy to come get it BS
I only sell my stuff 2 ways. Guaranteed Check and we go to my bank to deposit it and make sure everything is kosher. However, even certified checks can have a stop payment put on them and most people don't realize that so now I only do wire transfer.
When my bank confirms they have the money in my account, you get the title. I bought my C5, the saw way, when the original owner called his bank and confirmed the $$$ was there, he signed the title over to me.
Some people just don't have a BS meter. It's like the Nigerian letters, if you ever read through one, its like WTF, this guy is a scammer or has the worst luck of anybody I have ever met
