Have a buyer for a outboard motor I have. (9k value)
Is a bank to bank wire best for this transaction?
Usual bill of sale and purchase agreement sufficent?

yep.i do it all the time...there is also a new thing that goes thru canada post/usps called a moneygramm...which way is it going? to or from canada?

oki...reread your post...moneygramm is a one hour delay,and the seller can get his money from ANY post office in the us or canada,usually by showing driver's license and having the right code for the transaction...i like that system,as all banks are not connected together.

bank wire or the moneygramm, but the bank wire makes it just so simple and the fee is peanuts .

Thanks! Bank said as the payee I'd be safe having them wire the money. Guy is willing to wait for shipment till wire is cleared.
