I have done, but never anything that big. As you say, wait till you have the money then its up to him.

Two transits to different people wanting to send them to Zimbabwe... they just paid the cash and signed what they had to as if it was a normal sale. As long as I had the proof that they had brought them and had the money in my hand I was happy to let them drive away with them each time.. what they did with them after that didnt matter to me...

Just the usual stuff, dont accept foreign cheques, or any cheque for more than the ammount of the sale.  Make sure someone is going to collect it from you as importing is a pain in the proverbial!

Generally as a rule i dont allow overseas bidders, too much hassle involved.

Do not accept a cheque

This can go into your accound, clear, then weeks later be removed. Its an old scam that works on a loop hole in our bank systems.

Tell them to arrange either cash or a cashiers cheque

Sounds like a scam to me. I bet he hasn't got any feedback and joined recently.

I had a couple of people who wanted to ship my SJ to Nigeria and Canada.

How good was the english in the e-mail?

i read up on this for selling stuff and put in my options that only buyers in the uk can bid on it.

if the buyers dosh is in your bank then say the car can be dropped off at somewhere like liverpool docks and from then its his problem
