No offense taken GS1100. I can certainly understand everyone's comments about sending your bike off without having the check in hand but you have to look at it as a buyer also. Would you just mail off a cashiers check to somebody that you don't know in hopes that a bike appears on your doorstep? Now I am certainly not saying that renhalt has bad intentions, and from all my talks with him he is a super nice guy and I am sure his bike is nice...I was just proposing that we use an independant third party to facilitate the transaction. The process was simple and protected both of us. First, I would send the ceritfied funds to the third party. Then they would let renalt know when they recieved the funds...which would give him the confidence to release the bike to the shipper and send the title in to the independant third party. Once the bike arrives at my place, I call the third party and they send the certified funds to renalt and the title to me.

I didn't think this was in any way an offensive offer to him and so I am not sure why he is here on the boards acting like I am being fishy...

Oh well, no worries.

If you don't want to ride it home, rent a U-haul truck on a one-way. It all depends on how much you want a great XX.

Renhalt, have you had it on Craigslist?

A one way U-haul truck costs more than hiring a shipping company.

The idea of the U-haul truck is for you to go look at the bike and make up your mind before you buy it. If you buy it and don't want to ride back, haul it. If you don't want to buy it, fly home.

I am not saying you were trying any shady stuff. But put your self in my shoes, your the only one protected in that transaction. I'm not saying that you would, but lets say you receive the bike and say you don't like it. I mean you could try and beat me up on the price, which by the way I'm already taking a loss, or not pay at all. Then what? My pride and joy is in Omaha and i would have to pay shipping both ways. I mean I wouldn't let my own brother ride my bike, let alone ship it halfway across the country to someone I don't know without receiving any money.

There are a lot of bikes for sale right now, I challenge you to find one in as great a shape as mine with all the after market parts for the same money! Or much better less. I drove 9 1/2 hours one way to buy this bike because I didn't want to buy someone else s problems. And I assure you I looked at plenty of birds for sale and this is the one in my garage. Were there birds closer? Sure! Were they as nice as this one? No! Sometimes you need to give a little to get a little. As I said before I will take the bike to any dealer or mechanic in the area you choose and have them go over the bike and verify it is what i say it is. And i will also take a high resolution video of the bike running and so on as well. Or better yet, get a one way ticket to Florida, I will pick you up at the airport and you can smile all the way back to Omaha. Balls in your court my friend! You wanna fish or cut bait!

Yeah, I'd have to be 99% comfortable with the transaction details. Good luck w/it.

that was the hardest part about buying my bike from florida and me being in montana, was the transaction.... what i did was got a cashiers check and e-mailed him the copy of the reciept, he called the bank to verify.. once the bike was on the truck to be hauled i sent the money and when he got the money i got the paperwork... definatly is a tricky business tho

I am in the process of selling one of my cars here in FL to a buyer in IL - just waiting for the truck to pick it up. The buyer got pics and a copy of the title to show I owned it free & clear. He sent a $2k deposit and had a friend stop by to see the car in person and I gave him the title and bill of sale, which contained a note stating the car would not be released until the balance ($40k) was received via wire (got it this morning); I sent him the bill of sale beforehand and he signed/scanned/emailed it back. There is always a certain amount of trust involved on both sides but you can cover almost everything...I have done a lot of transactions like this over the years and never had a problem.

Best of luck to you both...Bob Z.

+1 !! I put two bikes for sale this summer. Had half dozen worthless tire kickers and two "serious" buyers asking me to bend backwards. It got to the point where since I don't "have to" sell them and was just trying to clear garage space, I figured.... **** it. I ain't bending over. Backwards or otherwise. And I'm not giving anyone a sales pitch about how good the bike(s) is (are). It is what it is. Take it or leave it. Want to talk to a salesman, go to a dealer. So I still have them. And even though I don't ride as much as I used to, I'm happy and contempt. And the two "serious" buyers still pop now and again asking sellers when they post bikes for sale on the owner's lists. So yeah, they are serious until it comes time to put their money where their mouth is.
