Send a PM to Greengoose. He recently sold his Burgman to a gal and her dad from out of state. I do know that he demanded cash, presumably for the same reason. The dad did not read the indtructions he was sent and brought a cheque instead. Greengoose stuck to his guns and whilst the dad was not happy, he finally found somewhere to get the cash. The dad & his daughter trailered the bike home themselves.
I agree 100% with what Greengoose did: he requested the payment be in cash (reasonable) at the time of the transaction, so there would not be a big surprise. I can understand someone not wanting to travel interstate with several thousand in cash, thus bringing a cheque instead, but most bands have 'sister' banks that they share recirocal check cashing privileges with in almost any city. Just ask and it can be arranged to carry the money by cheque and arrange to cash it at the destination.
As for why people trust a large amount of money to someone to deliver a vehicle? I guess they're more trusting than you and I or they have never been burned on eBay.
