So this weekend some dude is going to stop by my house to buy my second motorcycle that I'm selling cause I hardly ever ride it. We agreed upon €9.5k but I am wondering what the best way of closing the transaction is.
I mean - he obviously doesn't want to transfer the full amount before he has seen the bike which I understand and I don't want him to leave before I see the actual amount on my bank account.
I thought 50% cash, 50% by bank transfer when he is here so that I can verify the transfer has gone through (which takes a day to transfer).
100% cash is something I' m weary of - might get ripped of with fake bills or something.
Using a third party service such as ppal always costs you x percentage of the amount transferred unless you use friends & family, yet you aren't insured when something goes awry.
What would your preferred method be? Any clever ways to minimize risks on both ends?
