How do I pay?


I am in negotiations to purchase a pair of $4000 speakers. The seller wants a cashier check. He has no feedback on Usaudio sales. He does not accept PayPal. How do I pay and protect myself?

It’s sad two parties can’t do a gentlemans agreement these days.

The honor system is a risky thing. I've done it in the past, but wouldn't now. 
Just send the seller a quick email asking him if he'd accept UPS COD or an escrow service. I suspect his answer will be "no"...
I just sold a pair of speakers to a gentleman this weekend. He came over -- masks on -- listened to a couple of cuts. Agreed to buy the speakers and PayPal’d me the money.

There was an option on my end to perform an instant transfer of funds to my bank for an additional $10. Once the funds cleared, I helped him load out the speakers, box them up, and he was on his way.

I was leery of doing the whole Pay Pal thing and was strongly preferring cash or cashier check, but this really worked out well. He couldn’t of been a nicer cat either.

Bottom line...protect yourself and if your Spidey senses are tingling, walk away. Plenty of other opportunities out there.

Escrow, or COD and inspection upon arrival, if not, then no No deal! That is a gentlemans agreement. Shipping is the only thing lost...

I had a guy show me one speaker twice, the other speaker was a hatchet job... He thought he was clever.. Be aware... He had them loaded on my truck.. when I noticed all kinds of things on ONE speaker.  It had been dropped... I was hoppin', I mean HOPPIN'...MAD... His next door neighbor was laughing his self into an attack.. I caught on real quick...

Out comes the pepper spray. :-)
