Selling out of state

[MAC]

You could have him (or her) bring a certified bank check. Then when the prospective buyer shows up call the bank to check about it. (find the phone# yourself instead of relying upon any info given to you by the buyer)

And I have recieved certified checks in the mail that were fakes so people know how to print them up. so there is no way to call the Bank on a sunday I am going to call my bank and see what is the most secure method of doing an out of state transaction. I hate checks. I am still going through small claims on this guy who stole 800.00 from me gave him a check for a special order part he went right to my bank and cashed it I couldnt do a thing about it he never did the work that was in October and Im still realling over that so this transaction is going to go perfect or it wont happen.

Refuse to do it on a Sunday.
Make it a Saturday before 11 am and do not give them the title untill their check is cashed at the bank right in front of them. When you see the cash, they get the title, simple.

If they have to do it on Sunday then make it clear that it must be cash or no title will pass hands.

you are right in having to protect yourself Mike.
