[QUOTE="willboe, post: 942523, member: 28459"] Re: 'scammed': Yea, me too. It was a bit edgy; the buyer is allegedly a Russian broker in the Seattle area, who finds bikes for people in Russia. I expressed my concerns, he sent a cashiers check up front & told me to let him know when it cleared. I actually opened a checking account on the bank that the cashiers check was drawn on. It was the only way to 'clear' the funds quickly. If I had deposited it in my bank, It could still be subject to being reported as; lost or stolen buy the sender until it cleared the bank who issued the check. Allegedly this might take a few weeks. The manager at my new bank assured me the funds were real within 24 hours of being deposited. Next, another Russian is going to come & pick the bike up site unseen. I insisted that my Seattle broker send me his name in writing with specific permission for me to to turn the bike, the title, & a bill of sale over to him. He did, I did. I also had the receiver sign a receipt, & I shot a photo of his California Commercial drivers license. So far so good. ps: the guy paid $7700 for the bike. The young man who picked it up said it would go for around $20K in Russia . . . [/QUOTE]
