Hey Pat... Paypal works great... but like others have said, be extremely careful with out of town buyers, shipping agents, etc... Be sure you speak to the actual guy that wants the boat, not some middle man. A guy here got scammed of $1000 trying to sell his jet skis to someone from out of state/country. Is this a call from craigslist ad?

I sold my Harley through the motorcycle forum to a guy in Wisconsin... it was trouble free, but we talked on the phone several times and got it all set up.

It sounds like a scam to me Pat.. Why would someone from MA be looking at boats in NE.. It's not like we don't have a bunch here to buy..LOL

Don't count your money yet, Pat. It does sound like a scam or somebody with nothing better to do. Esp. if they start off with "do you still have it?"

Now you know why I'm asking all these questions, this whole thing sounded weird to me. I won't do anything more unless I can talk to this guy. I found it hard to believe that, unless he was a dealer, he would want to buy a boat, halfway across the country, sight unseen, other than the pictures on CL.

Yeah you have to watch out for the bottom feeding scumbags out there..

I know a few people who have been scammed.. Mostly by their own stupidity..

The best thing is cash in hand..

Yeah. We'll see. I'm not counting on this going through, but we'll see. I sure as hell won't give the boat up, until I have cash in hand!
