If he cashes out immediately, all he's saying is "Pay me $30k for my Golf".

Nobody is ever going to get $1000 per bitcoin. So if I had 30 bitcoins, I'd totally jump on it. But I don't, because I'm not a moron. *Actually, the only way to cash out is to take advantage of morons such as that guy. Idiots who think bitcoins are actually worth something to someone.

Quick question, when selling a car on Craigslist, I should only accept cash or a cashier's check, right? And in the case of a cashier's check, take it to the bank with the buyer, deposit it, and then sign over the title there? Personal checks are out, of course, but I want to make sure there's no other legitimate payment source I haven't thought of. Edit: Googling a little more makes it seem like even depositing the cashier's check immediately at the bank is not safe. If the guy isn't comfortable showing up with $12k, is it easy to just take him to my bank and have them transfer the money directly from account to account?

Your edit is correct. You need cleared funds. If what makes both of you happy is doing that at a bank it just makes good sense to do so. Yours is better than his, as yours can tell you "yep, it's in your account" and you don't have to walk out with cash. But either way works. Even if you walk out of his bank with a cashiers check, you know it's good unless his "bank" is something shady in someone basement. Quick edit: This does not mean you don't need to have and make him sign a sales contract with the sale price, etc. Motronic fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Dec 8, 2013 |

I've bought a used car and a used motorcycle here in CA but never signed anything like that, they just signed over the title and I gave them cash. And do you mean that if he banked with, say, Bank of America, it would be safe to accept a cashier's check if I went there in person with him to get it? I'd rather just go to my bank and do a transfer if he won't give cash, of course.

Something simple, in plain english. You don't need to involve a lawyer. Try here for good templates: http://www.dmv.org/bill-of-sale.php While it may not be REQUIRED in your state, it's to you advantage to spend 20 minutes figuring one out. Pham Nuwen posted:And do you mean that if he banked with, say, Bank of America, it would be safe to accept a cashier's check if I went there in person with him to get it? That's exactly what I'm saying. When you watch a cashier from a respectable (ahem, you know what I mean) bank issue a cashier's check to you you can be pretty drat sure it's good. When you receive one from someone where you haven't witnessed getting handed over the counter from the bank there is a much greater chance that it could be a forgery. Excessive precaution? Maybe. But just how much would losing $12k hurt? It's worth a few hours (at worst) of diligence to me, that's for drat sure.

The only way to safely assume a cashiers check is not completely fake is to take it to the bank where it was issued, cash it with them right there and walk away with cash in hand, thus completely negating the usefulness of the check. Cashiers check are the most abused and conned pieces of paper in the country. People don't understand that its' just a check, nothing special, and they assume that it is some sort of guaranteed funds. All you have to do to scam someone with a cashiers check is create your own and use a weird bank from out of town and fudge up the routing numbers. That check will take about a week to bounce. Meanwhile, the victims bank balance is showing the money. This is the second part of the scam where people don't understand that when you deposit a check from another bank to your bank, your taking a loan out against yourself until that check clears. When it bounces, and it will, your bank takes the money back out. The most common scam involves overpaying with a bogus cashiers check and asking for payment back for difference. When it works it's a triple whammy, the victim does not get paid, they loose their item, and they give the con man extra money. Bonus points if the victim spends the money from the fake check right away and ends up owing the bank a ton of cash. I hate thieves.

I don't know which is more funny though, building a hilariously ugly car on a Mustang, or thinking somehow that it's worth more than the Mustang he built it on. It's actually worth less than the Mustang he started with.

I agree it's ridiculous, but there is no reasonable method for transferring funds inter-bank immediately in the US. The ACH clearing house still operates like they're physically driving tapes around to each bank - it's a daily batch process. What we need is something like the European banks have. You can clear funds phone to phone between two banks in less than 10 seconds.

When I lived in germany, the only way to really transfer funds was via wire transfer. I remember purchasing car parts on ebay and having to wait for my transfer to clear in order to get the parts shipped. The concept of paypal was some sort of fly by night system that no one trusted.

Darchangel posted:Roger that. It's really annoying that everyone else has better, cheaper phones and service, because US corporations are fat, lazy, greedy slobs. This really isn't true. The US has essentially all of the newest phones (from a major manufacturer) and cell service costs are comparable or less than most western countries. Most people forget that the Europeans tend not to subsidize their phones, so their monthly bill looks lower. Additionally, telcos in Scandinavian countries get a lot of subsidies, so those are artificially lower. On average, talk plans are cheaper than the US, but data plans tend to be more (it varies by country). In addition, much of the cost difference in the US is the result of rolling out LTE/4g. Something that is relatively rare in Europe outside of major metros. Which kinds puts your point in perspective. We don't have the $50 Androids, but trust me you don't want them. But what the rest of the world doesnt have is a chopped ranchero. http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/4138708104.html

on the Volvo wheels instead of the Evo8s, and with halogens installed and the car raised back up, this is basically my ideal car quote:have the itch to build a Volvo 142. So I am putting my 1992 Volvo 245 with a CARB legal turbo swap up for sale. That's right, it was given a seal of approval from the California smog referee, and has a sticker to prove it! It's a late 240 with a 2.3L turbo, that comes without any hassles when smog time rolls around every 2 years. The ideal setup!!

Despite that, I love that wagon. It looks good on the Evos. It would look phenomenal on the BBS reps. I like the ride height, but if it's uncomfortable, an inch or so up would be tolerable. I like the look of low, but I'm not willing to make the car un-drivable for looks. Little far from Texas, sadly. Also, I'm broke.
