If I deposit a big stack of $100 bills, and get a deposit slip, that is pretty much it for me.

Our money is not as fancy as that overseas, but the new printing and striping technologies are pretty good. And I dont think too many scammers are involved in counterfeiting, and will stand there as you make a large deposit.. You really dont want Treasury Dept agents on your as$. Not in this lifetime..

In the USA, wire it whatever.... Anyone I have sold a car to in this country I have known their home address. I really dont worry about being scammed. This thread is about selling to an overseas buyer.

From overseas, I would not trust anyone I did not have an ongoing business relationship with. Too many scams, too many folks willing to part with their property with false pomises.. And once it is on board that ship, you are done! The car is re-sold, the container re-routed at the next stop, and you have no recourse...
