I bought a Ford Excursion from a private party in Denver on Ebay and had a great time doing it. Yes,I was s'posed to be able to inspect when I met at the airport,but airport security made it too difficult to do so. Everything was done on bank transfers between his bank and mine. Mine sent the wire transfer and his sent them the title. I figgered that if I got it home and something was wrong,within reason, that I had gotten a good enuff deal that I could iether fix it or sell it. Well,I fell in love with the big PSD beast and there were no problems.
I sold the Excursion and my TT on CL and made good money on the package. 10 actual lookers and no scams,but the RV Trader ad drew 5 replies and 4 were scams.
We bought our Tradewinds off of CL and did alright.I got it for 20K underbook and the guy was an auto dealer that sold rvs on the side and told me so. The whole deal went very well and quickly as the guy worked directly with my CU. I have also bought and sold other small things on CL and not had a problem.
