Did you post it on the forum or in the classifieds? I just sold my 20m to a guy in Texas through iKitesurf.com (in fact I've bought and sold through iKitesurf.com in the past). Each time, I've done the transaction through PayPal. So far (fingers crossed) I haven't gotten screwed...

I've taken checks for amounts over 3k, I'm straight forward and almost always try to get someone on the phone, i've had many people trying to scam, saying checks in the mail and I gave you extra to meets someone who will pick it up for me.. Paypal works, I like money orders. haven't been dinged yet...

Now that was slick :lol:

you know the way you didn't mention. I can't say I've been on that other site. Or at least there has been no need since the people on this site are so cool :cool:

there has been no need browse other forums, but i will definitely keep that in mind in the future. Thanx
