So I have my Road King listed here and tossed an add up on Craigslist yesterday. A ton of responses scammers and all,my buyer will be here Monday with cash and we go to my bank. Found a 17 Street Glide Special with 4000 miles for 12K and I'll pick it up Tuesday and look forward to it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it LOL.

Craigslist can be troublesome. There conmen making a living off it.

Not sure reading you post were your buyer came from? HDFORUM or Craigslist?

I have found Facebook Market Place to work. All transactions at my bank after they accept and check cash.

Why at your bank? Why shouldn't I be ok with a buyer just bringing the cash?

I'm a PI by trade so did my homework. I just checked th VIN with my local dealer, no warranty work and serviced 3,000 miles ago.. I'm 65 and have dealt with scammers for 45 years. Buyer is a cop and works at Jacksonville Internation Airport.

Most banks are required to report lump sum cash deposits over $10K or multiple cash deposits totaling $10K in a day. Prevents Badbagger from money laundering.

It's called split deposits. One day 1, 2 days later the second. Been there done that.

Hell no... Have the bank run the bills thru the counterfeit checker.... The new fakes are so good, the pens haven't caught up.. As for over 10k, just have the bill of sale and your ok...

Yup, me too. Luckily the bank manager knows me and told me to do the same. This was awhile back.
