I've finally decided to give up my old Mustang and trying to sell it privately. I'm planning to use photo ads, ebay and/or Criagslist. I'm a little concerned about scammers and money launderers and not sure how to handle the actual cash transaction.
I'm getting some conflicting info from sites. For example, Ebay seems to recommend money orders/cashiers checks whereas Craigslist says to avoid those. Which is it? Should I just require a personal check and wait for it to clear before turning over the keys and title? Should I accept cash? I don't want to have to buy a counterfeit pen just in case someone wants to pay that way, but I know there's plenty of people out there that prefer cash transactions that I'm not opposed to as long as they hand me real money.
Any advice from people experienced with this kind of transaction would be appreciated.
Thanks.
