I sold a buddies motor for him it was a twin turbo BBC going to Sweden thought for sure it was a scam when he emailed me. It wasa $10,000 deal and another $2,000 to ship it. I made the guy call me and he did. We decided to do it all through westeren union being I had one in town. I went there said nothing over $2,000 so that was out had to drive a hour to a bigger place that would do it. I talked it over with the people at western union, they said only way it shows up on the screen is if the money is in the account. It did cost the buyer $200.00 do this also. The 2nd 5,000 was via wire transfer into my checking account, to be sure I cleaned all but the min. amount. I got all $10,000 in hand and then had him wire the shipping amount also. He had me ship it to a place in PA some guy that did shipping to Sweden, I called him he had no idea about it but knew the guy who purchased it. I sent it to him like I was told and havent heard anything sense. Was hoping to hear he got it or something but never did. My 2 cents do a wire transfter its safe and easy !
